Causes of high blood pressure could include age, race, sex, lifestyle, family history, pregnancy and stress. To combat your high blood pressure, Mayo clinic said: "Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you might avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication. "If you have any type of high blood pressure, your doctor will review your medical history and conduct a physical examination. "Your doctor may also recommend routine tests, such as a urine test (urinalysis), blood tests, a cholesterol test and an electrocardiogram — a test that measures your heart's electrical activity. "Additional tests may also be recommended, such as an echocardiogram, to check for more signs of heart disease." (责任编辑：) |
