What is Hypertension
Hypertension is high blood pressure. It's the opposite of hypotension.
What types are there?
There are two types of hypertension:
- Essential hypertension - which is caused by, well, nobody's sure.
- Secondary hypertension - which is caused by something else.
Excluding the second of these is important because it's often incredibly serious (like renal failure or something).
