Mum Drinks Smokes & is over weight is that why she has high blood pressure ?

Question

She is only 37.

Answer 1

Those are surely good reasons for someone to have high blood pressure.

Genetics usually have something to do with it as well.

If she went walking a few nights a week, I bet it would help.

Answer 2

Absolutely. High blood pressure is also affected by diet. Some foods (salt) raise blood pressure tremendously.

Answer 3

Ofcourse it is. All of those thing contribute to high blood pressure. And she does all of them, so I would say yes. But most importantly, if you are over weight, you have a high risk for high blood pressure

Answer 4

ahhhh duhh? yes smoking and being overweight are a HUGE role that she has high blood pressure. Tell her to try the nicitine patch, and eat a heathier diet.
