There are 2 types of hypertension. Each type is caused by a number of different causes.
Primary hypertension (also called essential hypertension). This type of disease develops over time with no identifiable cause. Most people have this type (about 90-95%). Common in subjects over 45 years old, people with diabetes, obesity, salty foods, alcohol abuse, physical inactivity or mental stress... Secondary hypertension (high blood pressure is a symptom) symptom of a certain disease). Secondary hypertension (about 5 -10%) occurs more rapidly and is more severe.
