High blood pressure, also called hypertension is a disease that causes the blood to flow through blood vessels with a higher pressure. HBP itself can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nose bleed, or chest pain, but if left untreated, or better said, uncontrolled, it can lead to life-threatening conditions, like heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm.
Studies have shown that, aside from lifestyle and environment, genetics also play an important role when it comes to the risk of developing high blood pressure. Many times it’s inherited, so having a family member that has the disease will increase your chances of developing it. Moreover, studies showed that some modifications to certain genomes can lead to hypertension.
