Essential Hypertension

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, comes in two varieties. There is essential hypertension, and then there is secondary hypertension.

Essential hypertension means that there is no apparent cause for the hypertension. There is no underlying disease that is causing the blood pressure to be too high. Secondary hypertension means that there is an identifiable cause for the hypertension. There are many medical conditions that can cause the blood pressure to be high. Some of those causes are very serious, but secondary hypertension affects only 5% to 10% of those who have hypertension.

Essential hypertension is what 90% to 95% of people with high blood pressure have. Fifty million Americans have high blood pressure, so that means that 45 million to 47 million have essential hypertension. The problem is that everybody doesn't have their blood pressure checked on a regular basis, and there are a lot of people who have high blood pressure who just don't know it. Not knowing that you have high blood pressure means that it isn't being treated, and that is a very, very dangerous situation.

Essential high blood pressure is the largest contributing factor to heart attacks, heart failure, kidney failure, and stroke, according to records kept by admitting emergency rooms. Many of these heart attacks, strokes, etc. could have been prevented if the high blood pressure had been under control.

There are no symptoms of essential high blood pressure that anyone would recognize as a symptom. That's why it is often called "the silent killer." High blood pressure can sneak up on you and give you a world of hurt. The simple solution is just to have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis. Essential high blood pressure is treatable and controllable.
