What Causes High Blood Pressure?
6. Thyroid Problems
The thyroid is a gland that is responsible for the production and secretion of some very important hormones. These hormones have an impact on various aspects of the day to day functioning of our bodies. These include things like perspiration, digestion, how quickly our heart beats, and our blood pressure.
Problems with the thyroid gland can result in imbalances in the patient’s hormone levels. This can, in turn, result in symptoms for the patient like a high blood pressure. There are numerous potential underlying causes of this, one of which is a tumor of a different gland known as the adrenal gland.
