High BP and Its Causes

Hypertension or High Blood Pressure is a condition where the pressure of the blood against the artery walls is too high. High BP often has no symptoms but, if left untreated, can cause health conditions like heart disease and stroke.

Causes

•          Smoking
•          Alcoholism
•          Obesity
•          A sedentary lifestyle where the patient goes for long hours without moving from the place

Since the pandemic and the rise of IT jobs, the sedentary lifestyle has become a part of our daily life.  But according to the cardiologists, “Sitting is second smoking,” and thus, this can be one of the causes of high BP even if you do not have any of the first three risk factors.
