Common Causes of High Blood Pressure(Hypertension)

Conclusion

High blood pressure is a potentially dangerous health condition that usually shows no symptoms. You should get your blood pressure regularly to make sure it’s within safe levels. Annual screening is recommended for people at risk. Adults between ages 18 and 39 with normal blood pressure and no risk factors can screen every three years. High blood pressure can be managed with medication. See a doctor if your blood pressure is high.
