Causes of High Blood Pressure

It has been mentioned earlier that high blood pressure results from an imbalance between the cardiac output and the peripheral resistance.
The following factors may, independently or in conjunction, lead to such an imbalance
(1) Heredity : Most experts believe that heredity does play a role in causing high blood pressure. That the incidence of this disease is double than normal in kins of persons with high blood pressure, is suggestive. A few researchers believe that it is not the heredity but environmental factors which cause high blood pressure. Children imitate the dietary habits and life style or their elders. Consequently they, too, suffer from disorders which their parents are afflicted with.

Some In what way and to what extent do hereditary factors act is still not clear. As for diabetes, it can be said for high blood pressure too that ‘ In the development of high blood pressure, heredity loads the cannon and environmental factors pull the trigger.’ In short, if exciting environmental forces are not at play, heredity can have little influence.

(2) Mental tension and approach : All researchers accept the role of mental tension and negative thinking in the development of high blood pressure.

In an experiment, too many mice were forced into a single cage. This overcrowding led to high blood pressure. If such a situation was allowed to stay for some time, the high blood pressure became established, i.e., the pressure did not drop even after the mice were removed from the cage.

Mental tension leads to excessive secretion of catecholamines ( adrenaline and non-adrenaline) inside the body. These secretions undesirably stimulate the catecholaminergic nerve endings in the brain – stem to cause an elevation of the blood pressure. The incidence of high blood pressure in to ambitious, too m uch self-controlled or emotion-throttling ( who consciously refrain from expressing their feelings) and workoholic persons, has been found to be much higher.

Deep studies and widespread surveys have shown that persons with a particular type of personality or behaviour – pattern suffer from high blood pressure more often. Scientists have named such behaviour : ‘type A behavior’. Type A behavior has clear cut characteristics.

A person with type A behavior
(1) talks aggressively and hurriedly; he unnecessarily stresses or accentuates certain words while speaking and hurries the ends of the sentences.
(2) Always moves, walks and eats rapidly,
(3) Becomes impatient if events taking place in front of his eyes are slow; he strives to rapidly complete the sentences of others, thinking they speak too slowly or not to the point,
(4) Gets irritated and enraged if the vehicle in front is moving slowly.

(5) Gets impatient or irritated if he has to stand in a queue.
(6) Gets irritated if a work is being done slowly, which he thinks he could have done faster.
(7) Tries to accomplish more than one work at one time; he reads the newspaper while having his lunch or eats his morning breakfast while shaving.
(8) Prefers to go through the summary of a book instead of reading it fully,

(9) Always dwells in his own thoughts; while with others, he tries to bring the theme of the conversation to those subjects which especially interest and intrigue him and if unable to accomplish this maneouver, pretends to listen but remains preoccupied with his own thoughts. Read More...
