Cause #10: Primary Hypertension
High blood pressure is something that is fairly common among people and we are learning more about it. With more knowledge about the causes, we are better able to learn how to treat it, but there is still a great deal more research that needs to be done. More often than not, we still know little to nothing about what causes high blood pressure in the first place.
Primary hypertension is the name given to cases of high blood pressure for which no cause has been identified. It is likely to arise in adulthood and gradually worsen over time. Even if the cause cannot be identified, the symptoms can often still be treated.
