What causes high blood pressure at 24 years old

Hypertension in 24 year olds may be secondary to certain diseases or etiologies, or it may be primary due to genetic and environmental factors. 1. The prevalence of hypertension increases with age, and the possibility of secondary hypertension should be considered when diagnosing hypertension in 24-year-olds. Secondary hypertension has many causes, such as renal artery stenosis in renal diseases, pheochromocytoma and Cushing’s syndrome in endocrine diseases, and aortic constriction in cardiovascular lesions. It is necessary to go to the specialized department of the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. 2.24-year-old young people may also have primary hypertension. When both parents have high blood pressure, the probability of children developing the disease is as high as 46%. Coupled with the current unhealthy lifestyles of some young people or occupations with high levels of mental stress, the proportion of hypertension among young people is also increasing. In addition to the above causes, sleep apnea hypoventilation syndrome and certain medications (e.g. ephedrine, oral contraceptives, licorice, etc.) can also cause hypertension, so it is recommended to go to the hospital for a systematic examination to determine the cause of elevated blood pressure.
