Etiology of hypertension

summary

My grandmother is over 60 years old. She has been in good health and has a ruddy complexion. But since the first half of this year, she has often said that walking faster, or feeling excited, she has chest tightness, asthma, dizziness and severe head pain. She went to the hospital for examination and said that there are many causes of high blood pressure. Now I will tell you the specific hypertension.

Etiology of hypertension

First of all, with the increase of age, the physical function of the elderly begins to deteriorate for various reasons, and the formation of hypertension is difficult to avoid. There are many specific reasons, including changes in diet, environment and mood

Secondly, many patients with hypertension, especially those with obesity, are often accompanied by diabetes mellitus, and diabetes mellitus is also accompanied by hypertension, so they are called homologous diseases. Patients with diabetes mellitus are prone to hypertension due to increased blood glucose, increased blood viscosity, damaged vascular wall and increased vascular resistance, Therefore, prevention and treatment of hypertension and diabetes should reduce blood pressure at the same time

Finally, hypertension caused by vascular diseases: stenotic and obstructive vascular diseases, such as congenital coarctation of aorta, often lead to upper body blood pressure rise; Takayasu arteritis often leads to unilateral or bilateral proximal renal artery obstruction in varying degrees, more serious cases can cause intractable blood pressure rise

matters needing attention

The specific cause of hypertension is still unclear in the medical field. First of all, we need to reduce blood pressure, but we can not only seek the superficial blood pressure, and can not rely on the temporary blood pressure of drugs. Regular blood pressure detection and long-term control of blood pressure can effectively prevent complications and improve the quality of life
