How do you get high blood pressure?

Answer 1

If you have high blood pressure, there are a few things that will affect high blood pressure, weight, salt, stress, alcohol. So if you are overweight you might want to try to lose weight, cut down on your salt and alcohol intake. When these things are not helping going to see your physcian to get medication might also help. Your way of handling stress (spirituality, psychiatry), is also important. Total control can be attained by managing the last two.

Answer 2

high blood pressure can occur in many forms and for a variety of reasons the most common being poor diet which includes alot of saturated fats and salt, drinking excess of alcohol, being overweight and having a life full of stress, although studies are still being done to confirm this connection. high blood pressure can be very dangerous and as always you should always consult your doctor if you feel you may suffer from this, but in general my understanding is exercise and eat 7-8 fruit and veg a day, reduce your salt intake massively as well as watching your saturated fat's you may find that this will not only promote some weight loss if you currently are overweight but comes hand in hand with lowering blood pressure.

this answer is only my understanding of the situation and your doctor will provide all you need to know with treating or identifying this condition.
