2. Causes of hypertension in young people.

1, stressful and nervous

Stress and mental stress are the main causes of hypertension. In the past, a few occupations, such as accounting and drivers, were under great pressure, mental stress and high incidence of hypertension, but now they are in a period of social transformation. People's pressure comes not only from work, but also from family, such as buying a house and a car, education and employment, medical security and so on. Stress is everywhere. Stress and mental stress can also cause sympathetic nerve excitation and vasoconstriction, which will lead to an increase in blood pressure.

2. Obesity and overweight

Obesity and overweight are also important causes of hypertension. In the past, the degree of mechanization was not high, people's activities were large, and few people were obese and overweight. Now the degree of mechanization and automation is high, there is no need to work hard and the living conditions are good. Overweight and obese patients abound. Obesity leads to metabolic disorder, fat accumulation and arteriosclerosis, which leads to high blood pressure. For many patients with hypertension, weight loss therapy is a very important auxiliary means.

If you are addicted to tobacco and alcohol, the harm of tobacco to blood vessels mainly comes from nicotine, which will cause vascular smooth muscle contraction and lead to an increase in blood pressure. After quitting smoking, hypertension patients' low blood pressure will directly drop by 5~ 10 mmHg. Alcohol can harden arterial blood vessels, reduce vascular elasticity, and eventually lead to high blood pressure.

Alcohol can harden arteries and reduce blood vessel elasticity.

5, high-salt diet

Among the common factors of modern people suffering from hypertension, high-salt diet ranks first. Northerners have a strong taste and pursue salty taste when eating. They have a hot soup in the morning, stir-fry at noon and eat hot pot at night. Every meal is salty. The normal salt intake does not exceed 5 grams per day, but most people are above 9 grams, but too much salt intake will lead to loss, and too much sodium intake will cause sodium water retention, increase blood vessel capacity, and eventually lead to an increase in blood pressure.
