Hypertension is subdivided into two forms:
• Essential or primary – increased blood pressure is not due to another disease-causing process in the body;
• Secondary – the result of the progression of another disease, most often of the kidneys and the heart.
The factors that cause primary or essential hypertension – most of them are related to the modern lifestyle such as:
• Stress and tension – in the fast-paced world we live in, constant exposure to high stress is among the main causes of high blood pressure. Hypertension is more common in more ambitious people, those who strive to achieve higher results.
• Smoking – the nicotine and tobacco in cigarettes contribute to an increase in blood pressure.
• Obesity – it is the main factor in increasing blood pressure. This is because the heart muscle must pump more blood to meet the oxygen and nutrient demands of the increased size and quantity of fat cells.
• Excessive salt intake – contributes to the retention of more fluids, which makes heart function difficult due to the need for a greater intensity of blood pumping, which is also the cause of hypertension.
