Nobody knows exactly which are the causes that generate high blood pressure.
The element which causes primary high blood pressure to appear is uncertain, however there seem to be several factors which could be influencing this condition. It looks like the genetic factor is one of them because high blood pressure seems to be running in the family.
Apart from the genetic factor, high blood pressure can be also generated by alcohol, smoking, obesity, too much salt, sedentariness and too much stress.
When it comes to secondary high blood pressure, the factors which seem to trigger it are as follows:
- Kidney disease

- Arteriosclerosis (this disorder causes the narrowing, thickening and hardening of the arterial walls)
- Obesity
- Pregnancy (mostly when Pre-eclampsia is present)
