Hi, I am a medical student studying the third year at a medical school in Nagpur. Good going about the topic. I would like to add few facts about the blood pressure and its diagnosis by doctors. It’s told by one of our assistant professors that hypertension (BP) is present in 50% of population, it is diagnosed in 50% of them, and only 50% are started on the proper treatment and in that only 50% are continuing the treatment and in which 50% have already set into the complications.

Patients in whom no specific cause for hypertension is detected are called primary hypertension.The cause of hypertension is not found in a vast majority of cases. In fact no specific cause is found in almost 95% of patients with hypertension. The vast majority of cases of primary hypertension are due to increased stiffness (resistance) of the peripheral arteries.Cases of hypertension where some specific cause can be found are termed as secondary hypertension. Though accounting for only 5% of cases of hypertension, these are important because correction of the cause can often lead to cure of hypertension.
