What are the main causes of high blood pressure?

30% of all hypertension in our country is caused by a family history.

In this way, if the parents have high blood pressure, they can prevent high blood pressure by modifying their lifestyle habits, such as exercising frequently and vigorously, and eating more vigorously.

Can stopping high blood pressure prevent this disease?

Hypertension often has no specific symptoms, which is why it has been nicknamed the "silent killer." This is because high blood pressure is not dangerous in itself, but rather a disease that causes angina, stroke, and myocardial infarction. All of these conditions can be prevented by controlling blood pressure before it reaches the hypertensive stage.

What is the treatment for high blood pressure?

Hypertension is treated with medication. It is usually used as a combination of drugs, that is, a combination of drugs. This minimizes the side effects of using only one drug and allows two or more medications to complement each other.
