Hypertension/High Blood Pressure Health Center

Researchers point out that hypertension is a risk factor for stroke and heart disease, nearly 8 million people died worldwide in 2015.

Some people are suffering from high blood pressure due to potential conditions. This type of hypertension, called secondary hypertension, often occurs suddenly and causes higher blood pressure than essential hypertension. Various conditions and drugs, including tobacco use, may lead to secondary hypertension. When you smoke or chew tobacco, not only does blood pressure rise temporarily but chemicals in tobacco can damage the inner layer of the arterial wall. This may cause the arteries to contract and increase the risk of heart disease. Secondhand smoking also increases the risk of heart disease

Hypertension (hypertension) - blood pressure is the pressure in the artery (blood vessels carry blood around the body). High blood pressure or high blood pressure means that the arterial pressure is higher than normal. This may be due to low elasticity of the artery, high blood volume, or blood being withdrawn from the heart. Uncontrolled diabetes can damage the arterial wall and cause coronary heart disease. Obesity people are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than people of normal weight. The Australian Aborigines and the people of the Torres Strait Islanders have much higher diabetes incidence than other Australians, even though they are underweight.
