Primary (Essential) Hypertension
This is the most common type, affecting about 95% of adults. It tends to develop gradually over many years due to a combination of:
- Genetics and Family History: You are at higher risk if a parent or sibling has the condition.
- Age: Blood vessels naturally thicken and stiffen as you get older, which raises pressure.
- Lifestyle Choices:
- High Salt Intake: Too much sodium causes the body to retain fluid.
- Low Potassium: Potassium helps balance sodium in your cells; a lack of it can raise blood pressure.
- Physical Inactivity: Lack of exercise increases heart rate and often leads to weight gain.
- Obesity: Excess weight strains the heart and changes how blood vessels function.
- Tobacco and Alcohol: Smoking damages artery walls, while heavy alcohol use is directly linked to increased pressure.
Secondary Hypertension
This type appears suddenly and is caused by a specific underlying medical condition or substance. Common causes include:
- Kidney Disease: Conditions like diabetic nephropathy or narrowed kidney arteries (renal artery stenosis).
- Hormonal Disorders: Thyroid problems, adrenal gland tumors (pheochromocytoma), or Cushing syndrome.
- Sleep Apnea: Repeatedly stopping breathing during sleep stresses the nervous system and raises pressure.
- Medications: Certain birth control pills, decongestants, over-the-counter pain relievers (like ibuprofen), and some antidepressants.
- Herbal Supplements: Excessive use of Licorice root, Ginseng, Ephedra (Ma-huang), or Guarana can significantly spike blood pressure.
Risk Factors You Cannot Change
- Race: High blood pressure is particularly common and often more severe among Black people.
- Family History: Inherited genetic variations play a significant role.
- Environmental Factors: Long-term exposure to air pollution and chronic stress related to socio-economic factors can also contribute.
