What Causes High Blood Pressure?
5. Congenital Defects
We are all born a little bit differently. This is sometimes obvious to see as even siblings can have different facial features, and different body shapes and sizes. There are often also differences internally even though we are not usually able to see them. These internal differences have the potential to impact a person’s life.
Some people are born with congenital defects with their blood vessels and other parts of their cardiovascular system. These defects will sometimes affect the flow of blood around the body, potentially leading to complications like a high blood pressure. The patient may need lifelong medication to help manage their symptoms.
