Hypertension is a metabolic condition of the persistence of high blood pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels -the blood vessels which carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs. It is the common cause of various complications, especially cardiovascular diseases. The cause of hypertension can be due to various comorbid diseases or drugs, such as chronic kidney disease, Cushing’s syndrome, coarctation of the aorta, corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors and decongestants, among others. While there is no cure for high blood pressure, it is critical for people to act by making healthy lifestyle changes and taking blood pressure medications as prescribed by their doctors.
