Hypertension:

Another cause of secondary hypertension is Cushing's syndrome or aldosteronism, a metabolic disorder caused by overproduction of corticosteroid hormones by the adrenal cortex and often resulting in obesity and high blood pressure.

Causes of secondary hypertension are excess hormone secretion resulting from pheochromocytoma, excess secretion of hormones by pituitary tumors, coarctation, pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives etc. Treating the underlying condition or cause relieves secondary hypertension.

In general the major causes of hypertension are the following:

  • Hectic and stress filled life style
  • Unhealthy food habits
  • Obesity
  • Excessive consumption of liquors
  • Smoking
  • Over consumption of tea/coffee
  • Insufficient rest and sleep
  • Metabolic disorders
  • Hardening of the arteries
  • Excessive use of pain killers and other strong medicines
  • Genetic disorders
  • Over consumption of oily food and fast food
  • High salt intake
  • Emotional and Physical stress
  • Family history of hypertension
