At present, according to statistics, the prevalence rate of hypertension in residents over 18 years old is 27.9%, and that in the elderly over 60 years old is 53.2%. Such a high incidence rate has to be paid attention to. Only by knowing the cause of the disease in the early stage can we determine the symptomatic treatment plan. Let's analyze it below.
First, bad living habits.
Bad living habits and eating habits can easily induce hypertension, such as excessive salt intake, drinking, smoking and high-fat food intake. Other studies have shown that people who often stay up late are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and may even lead to a stroke.
Second, it is caused by kidney disease.
Kidney and blood pressure are two mutually causal relationships, that is to say, kidney will affect blood pressure, and hypertension will affect renal function, leading to renal failure, uremia and other diseases. Moreover, the kidney plays an important role in regulating blood pressure, which can regulate the balance of water and sodium in the body. Therefore, once the renal function is damaged, water and sodium cannot be discharged, resulting in an increase in vascular pressure and blood pressure.
The third is caused by improper diet.
Improper diet means eating too salty for a long time. Although sodium salt can increase the assistance to blood vessels, under normal circumstances, sodium ions can be excreted from the kidneys. However, the function of the kidney is limited. If sodium intake is too high, it can not be discharged in time, which will easily increase vascular pressure and lead to high blood pressure.
The genetic probability of hypertension is very high. It is understood that about 60% patients with hypertension have a certain family history. In other words, hypertension can affect the cardiovascular health of offspring through heredity, making people more susceptible to hypertension. At this time, patients should pay attention to the early onset of hypertension caused by heredity and need longer antihypertensive treatment.
Fifth, psychological factors.
If the mental state is abnormal for a long time, it will affect the health of patients and make people more prone to hypertension. Generally manifested as emotional instability, mental tension, anxiety, anger, easily affect people's brain nerves, leading to problems in the human blood system.
Sixth, the work pressure is high.
With the continuous development of society and rising prices and house prices, people's work pressure is increasing, which can easily lead to a series of changes in the human body. If the catecholamine in the body increases abnormally, it will cause blood vessels to shorten and heart load, thus inducing hypertension.
Seventh, smoking and drinking.
When smoking, toxic substances in smoke will damage the intima of arteries, easily cause atherosclerosis, affect human sympathetic nerves, shorten patients' arterioles and raise blood pressure. In addition, long-term drinking may lead to intractable hypertension and reduce the sensitivity of patients to antihypertensive drugs.
According to the above introduction, it is considered that there are many causes of hypertension, and sometimes it cannot be ruled out that it is caused by many reasons. Therefore, in order to improve the condition, we need to understand the cause and then do a good job of prevention and treatment. But in daily life, many friends don't know the cause of hypertension, which is very unfavorable for later treatment. Therefore, patients need to pay attention to it, and don't delay the best opportunity to improve their condition.
