When you walk up the stairs or get angry about something, your blood pressure rises, so that&#8217;s normal. However, if blood pressure values are repeatedly above 135 mmHg systolic and\/or above 85 mmHg diastolic even at rest, then the patient is suffering from hypertension. To determine this accurately, it is best to measure your blood pressure 2 times a day (once in the morning and once in the evening) in a seated resting position with your arm outstretched. In this regard, an upper arm blood pressure monitor is preferable to a wrist blood pressure monitor due to its higher accuracy. After a total of 30 measurements (i.e., after 15 days), a sufficient amount of data has been collected to determine meaningful average values. Furthermore, a 24-hour blood pressure measurement can be useful.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-97cbab5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"97cbab5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0fbde76\" data-id=\"0fbde76\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1a1b37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b1a1b37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the causes of high blood pressure?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b36baec elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b36baec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>High blood pressure can be attributed to many different causes, including <strong>lack of exercise<\/strong>, chronic <strong>stress<\/strong>, excessive <strong>salt intake<\/strong>, unhealthy <strong>diet<\/strong>, <strong>obesity<\/strong>, <strong>smoking<\/strong>, or <strong>familial risk.<\/strong> Furthermore, <strong>malfunction of the kidneys or thyroid<\/strong> must be ruled out, as these causes require different treatments. All these factors contribute through a complex system to the narrowing of the arteries \u2013 the vessels that transport blood from the heart to the other organs. The heart has to pump against narrowed arteries (increased resistance), leading to an increase in blood pressure. Medications aim to expand these constricted blood vessels again. However, this only succeeds for 12 to 24 hours. Then the vessels would narrow again. That&#8217;s why regular tablet intake is crucial. The actual cause is unfortunately not addressed by the medications.<\/p>\n<p>Further meaningful examinations for an accurate diagnosis of high blood pressure include echocardiography, carotid duplex, electrocardiogram (EKG), exercise testing (ergometry), and laboratory tests.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4698831 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4698831\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ddaeabc\" data-id=\"ddaeabc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4980f44 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4980f44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does high blood pressure manifest itself, what symptoms can occur?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b1aeb8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8b1aeb8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The dangerous aspect of high blood pressure is that the condition can remain unnoticed in some patients for an extended period, causing no symptoms..

Furthermore, more and more younger patients are affected by high blood pressure.
