It is often known as the silent killer for it has no clear symptoms. The <strong>causes of high blood pressure<\/strong> include a variety of reasons that coincide with causes of other diseases.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"Types-of-Hypertension\">Types of Hypertension:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two types of hypertension conditions of varied causes and severity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Primary hypertension<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Primary hypertension is the most common kind of hypertension. If someone\u2019s blood pressure readings range between 130 \u2013 139 and\/or 80-89 mmHg on the blood-pressure scale, they may be suffering from primary hypertension. There are no identifiable cause of primary hypertension, however, genes, physical changes, and lifestyle changes contribute to worsening of the disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Secondary hypertension<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If the patient\u2019s blood-pressure reading crosses 140 and\/or 90 mmHg then they could be suffering from secondary hypertension. This type of high-blood pressure is considered more severe than primary hypertension and its causes include kidney disease, obstructive sleep apnea, congenital heart defects, thyroid problems, medication side effects, use of illegal drugs, alcohol abuse, adrenal gland problems, certain endocrine tumours, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"Best-Exercises-to-Lower-BP\">Best Exercises to Lower BP<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the severity of health risk it poses, high-blood pressure can be lowered with lifestyle changes.
