There could be n number of factors giving way
to hypertension. Although some of its causes are the complications that
are quite evident; but most of the times it is very difficult to track
exact cause of hypertension.
Medical evidences
suggest that in case of ninety percent cases knowing the exact cause
seems impossible. That's why most of the time folks get to know about
their affliction with hypertension very late. Till then this quiet
killer would do enough damage to your body.
Two very common
causes are nephrological abnormality or dysfunctions and arterial
constriction or blockages. Both of these causes make hindrance in the
smooth flow of blood in arteries making heart to pump out blood by
exerting more force thus leading to a surge in pressure on the flowing
blood. Nephrological disorder based hypertension is known as renal
hypertension.
There could be various other reasons such as excess
deposition of cholesterol. In fact high level of cholesterol happens to
be a major facilitator of hypertension. This excess of lipoprotein
results in either narrowing of arteries or plaque formation. Both of
these phenomenons perturb normal movement of blood in arteries
compelling heart to impose a little extra pressure over the outgoing
blood. This is the way hypertension develops among obese and bulky
people. If not checked on time, it may cause stroke. Diabetics are very
much susceptible to this type of high blood pressure.
Diabetics
could fall prey to hypertension because of one more reason other than
high cholesterol. Since diabetics suffer from high blood sugar level,
their blood gets thickened due to excess of sugar molecules in blood.
Because of this, thickening blood can't keep up with normal pace of flow
making heart to put extra pressure on blood flow and the result is
occurrence of high blood pressure. Even normal people with extra intake
of sugar and rich diet could suffer from hypertension due to this reason.
Inheritance
happens to be a vital cause of hypertension. Going by the fact around
twenty five percent of hypertension patients round the globe develop
this disease because of inheritance.
Congenital aorta disorder is
another major cause of hypertension. Higher catabolic and anabolic
reaction rate also contribute to the malady.
There could other
life style reasons such as excessive drinking and smoking leading to
high blood pressure. Even excess of caffeine could result in high blood
pressure.
