What Are the Causes of Hypertension?
Although the cause of primary hypertension isn’t known, an early diagnosis from a family practice physician can help you manage your condition and prevent complications. On the other hand, a general practitioner can determine the cause of your secondary hypertension. Generally, this form arises suddenly as the result of but not limited to one of the following:
- Kidney problems.
- Congenital defects in your blood vessels.
- Thyroid problems.
Once we know the underlying cause, we can treat it accordingly to lower your blood pressure.
