La pandemia de hipertensión arterial. ¿Está usted en riesgo?

En la actualidad, donde las enfermedades no transmisibles han superado a las transmisibles como principal causa de muerte, ¿podemos realmente escapar de esta enfermedad relacionada con el estilo de vida? Los antecedentes familiares son uno de los principales factores de riesgo para la hipertensión. Personalmente, no conozco a nadie que no tenga este riesgo. ¿Y tú? ¿Alguien en tu familia la padece? ¿Qué medidas tomas para evitar desarrollarla en el futuro?

    I'm lucky it doesn't run in my family.  I need to calm my anxiety down.

    According to my GP and gynecologist heredity trumps lifestyle. I have a family history of high blood pressure related deaths on my father's side and several members have died young relatively speaking of strokes. That being said, I have never lived the kind of lifestyle my elders did. Many were heavy, sedentary, some of them smoked, and there was a lot of life  lifestyle stress. I noticed this at a very early age and went in the opposite direction once I was in charge of my own decisions. Nevertheless, at 56,  I learned that I had high blood pressure and I am now on a low dose of medication. You're absolutely right that some people can improve their situation by changing their lifestyle but heredity trumps all that.

    I think having healthier diet and do more exercise would be good for that

    Thankfully no one in my family has HBP issue but sleep is crucial to maintaining good BP

    It's good to check up health every year.
