What causes high blood pressure?
Question
Hello doctor,
I am 27 years old this year, I went to have my blood pressure checked at 140/90. The doctor said I had high blood pressure, measured my heart rate and pulse, and the doctor said everything was normal but couldn't find the cause of my high blood pressure. So what is the cause of high blood pressure? Thank you doctor.
