Even the blood pressure of a normal person will increase, when he gets to know that high blood pressure is one of the leading causes of heart attack and stroke in USA. Hence it is not surprising for why it is labeled as the ‘silent killer’!
But, what are the causes that the related statistics as for the number of patients is growing so fast? Let’s try to find a probable reason here.
First things first, there are two types of high blood pressures—Primary hypertension and secondary hypertension. Of the two, the former accounts for 95% of the cases. The causes of primary hypertension are many. When it is from a specific abnormality in one of the organs, it is known as secondary hypertension.
Primary hypertension has a vast membership. It has within its fold about 75 million Americans. But the diagnosis of this type of hypertension is not always easy. The type of attack varies from individual to individual. However, some common factors can be elucidated.
The main culprit found till date for high blood pressure is salt. So you should immediately cut extra iodine and salt intake as soon as you find that you are hypertensive.
Genetic factors are also playing a foul role for the serious types of ailments and primary hypertension. But the exact genes that have to take the blame are yet to be identified. The present research is on the renin-angiotension-aldosterone system. It is the system that helps to regulate blood pressure, controls salt balances as well as the elasticity of the arteries.
Now, let’s analyze threadbare how some of the causes of primary hypertension play their dubious role. The noticeable abnormality is that you have an increased resistance in the arteries; they are not as elastic, especially the small arteries that are at a distance from the heart. Obese people are haunted by this problem. Those eating too much salt, not doing any physical exercises and also the aging people are likely to own this sort of hypertension. The sodium in the salt is absolutely brutal on the high blood pressure patients.
Review your life styles and diet habits. You will be surprised yourself about the deficiencies that you have been putting on with, so far in your life. You have the high blood pressure. It’s the wake up call. Your arteries have become clogged. Even the County gutters are cleaned periodically, so that they don’t get chocked. You own the God-given divine instrument- your body! Reschedule your day’s routine and allocate time for walking and exercises. If you don’t do that, you may anyhow have to do walking exercises to your physician’s chamber!
Prevention is always better than cure! You need to say that to at least 75 million times to cure the BP patients!

What causes high blood pressure in young people?
Im 18 years old 5’9, 125 pounds. I drink quite often, and smoke (pack a week). I went to the doctor yesterday and he said i have high blood pressure?
Im guessing its probably the smoking, but is there anything else that causes it?
IDK, Im 16 and have HBP also

Selection in the blood of a large number of adrenaline during stress (leading to increased pressure on time, then it falls to the rules);
Poor performance of kidneys, which is directly connected to the upper blood pressure (the so-called renal hypertension);

this answer varies depending on your wieght , sice you are 125 this is the best i got,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hypertension, also referred to as HIGH BLO0D PRESSURE, HTN or HPN, is a medical condition in which the blood pressure is chronically elevated. In current usage, the word "hypertension"[1] without a qualifier normally refers to systemic, arterial hypertension.[2]
MORE DEEPER INTO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE……..
THIS ANSWER VARIES ON YOU HIEGHT SINCE YOU ARE 5’9 THIS IS THE CASE….Hypertension can be classified either essential (primary) or secondary. Essential hypertension indicates that no specific medical cause can be found to explain a patient’s condition. Secondary hypertension indicates that the high blood pressure is a result of (i.e., secondary to) another condition, such as kidney disease or tumours (pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma).
Persistent hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure and arterial aneurysm, and is a leading cause of chronic renal failure. Even moderate elevation of arterial blood pressure leads to shortened life expectancy. At severely high pressures, defined as mean arterial pressures 50% or more above average, a person can expect to live no more than a few years unless appropriately treated.[3] Beginning at a systolic pressure of 115 mm Hg and diastolic pressure of 75 mm Hg (commonly written as 115/75 mm Hg), cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk doubles for each increment of 20/10 mm Hg.[4] In the United States, prehypertension is defined as blood pressure from 121/81 mm Hg to 139/89 mm Hg and although not a disease category, it is a designation chosen to identify individuals at high risk of developing hypertension.[4] The Mayo Clinic specifies that blood pressure is normal if it is 120/80 mm Hg or below.[5]

It can be heredity. It is not something that comes and goes. You will probably need to take medication for the rest of your life. Unless they discover a cure with stem cell research, hopefully. I have had it for 25 years, have it checked regularly and take my little pill every day. No big deal. Millions of us out there do the same thing. You will be fine.
