Information on high blood pressure

[Griffin727]

Question, do medical professionals truly understand why high blood pressure happens other then the blanket terms such as, "unhealthy life style factors" and genetics. Like what would be the main reason someone would have high BP genetic wise. For example having Primary aldosteronism due to a endocrine issue. My guess is the condition is very individualized so it's hard to put in stone what causes it.

Your guess is correct. What are you trying to get at here? If you go down the genetic rabbit hole the number of mechanisms identified are limitless and I'm sure more are being identified as I type this. Now that being said, there is a lot of government money in hypertension research so hard telling how much of this is legitimate, relevant, or useful information.

Nothing really, but other than confirming my thought. I feel at the end of the day it nothing but a inbalance of homeostasis in a body system that causes the effect of high blood pressure.
