Hypertension: An Overview • The physics of the problem that blood pressure is, can be quite baffling for the layman. Pressure, area, force, pounding. Terms that efficiently explain the problem, but which leave the novices perplexed as well. Keeping this obvious vagueness that enshrouds the hypertension problem, we thought it best to not just define but discuss this healthcare challenge in detail. Read on, if you want to improve your understanding of hypertension and the effects of high blood pressure. • Now that we are done with the introductory formalities, let us start by defining hypertension in the simplest possible words. Blood circulating against your arteries in an abnormally high manner. There, we hope that you got our point. Because blood pressure is a force, there will be after-effects if our arteries suddenly have to sustain an increased force. It is worth mentioning here that a higher blood pressure means that your heart is pumping more blood while the arteries represent a very narrow state of affairs.
Types of Hypertension • Primary Hypertension When a person suffers from high blood pressure in the middle or senior years, it is termed primary hypertension. Teens can suffer from this condition as well, although this type of hypertension is chiefly attributed to advancing age. Other causative factors for primary hypertension remain unknown.
Types of Hypertension • Secondary Hypertension This type of hypertension is primarily because of an underlying condition. It is sudden and more intense as compared to primary hypertension. Some medical conditions that can lead to hypertension include renal disorders, thyroid disorders, and congenital blood vessel defects. Susceptibility to secondary hypertension can increase further if a person is in a regular habit of using over-the-counter analgesics.
