Hypertension An Overview 

• The physics of the problem that blood pressure
  is, can be quite baffling for the
  layman. Pressure, area, force, pounding. Terms
  that efficiently explain the problem, but which
  leave the novices perplexed as well. Keeping this
  obvious vagueness that enshrouds the hypertension
  problem, we thought it best to not
  just define but discuss this healthcare challenge
  in detail. Read on, if you want to improve your
  understanding of hypertension and the effects of
  high blood pressure.
• Now that we are done with the introductory
  formalities, let us start by defining
  hypertension in the simplest possible
  words. Blood circulating against your arteries in
  an abnormally high manner. There, we hope that
  you got our point. Because blood pressure is
  a force, there will be after-effects if our
  arteries suddenly have to sustain an increased
  force. It is worth mentioning here that a higher
  blood pressure means that your heart is pumping
  more blood while the arteries represent a
  very narrow state of affairs.

Types of Hypertension 

• Primary Hypertension
• When a person suffers from high blood pressure in
  the middle or senior years, it is termed primary
  hypertension. Teens can suffer from this
  condition as well, although this type of
  hypertension is chiefly attributed to advancing
  age. Other causative factors for primary
  hypertension remain unknown.

Types of Hypertension

• Secondary Hypertension 
• This type of hypertension is primarily because of
  an underlying condition. It is sudden and more
  intense as compared to primary hypertension. Some
  medical conditions that can lead to hypertension
  include renal disorders, thyroid disorders, and
  congenital blood vessel defects. Susceptibility
  to secondary hypertension can increase further if
  a person is in a regular habit of using
  over-the-counter analgesics.
