CAUSES OF HYPERTENSION

Explanation:

Blood pressure(Hypertension)is the most common condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high.

Blood pressure is calculated by both the amount of blood the heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in arteries. Blood pressure is given in millimeters of mercury(mm Hg). The more blood heart pumps and the narrower the arteries, the blood pressure will be high.

TYPES OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

1)Primary hypertension: In the case of adults, there's no identifiable cause of high blood pressure. This type is called primary high blood pressure.

2)Secondary hypertension: some kinds of people have high blood pressure caused by an underlying condition. This type is called secondary hypertension. various conditions may lead to secondary hypertension like kidney disease, Adrenal gland tumors, and thyroid problems.
