There is a growing number of evidence that shows that hypertension or high blood pressure is a hereditary condition. Are you afraid of developing this condition if your parents or relatives suffered from high blood pressure too? Although high blood pressure is hereditary, it doesn’t guarantee all relatives will suffer from it. If you do have family members who suffer from it, the best you can do is practice preventive measures. If you already have it, it is important to determine how or why you have it. Is it hereditary or was it acquired due to lifestyle habits? Once the causes of high blood pressure are recognized, only then can a professional decide on the best treatment.
