General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

When we talk about hypertension, there are many body organs involved. Because hypertension means blood pressure will increase in these cases:

- peripheral blood vessels resistance (blockage).

- cardiac output problems
- neural stimulation (brain)
- humoral mediators (both brain and periphery, secretory glands)

As you might see, if this balance is broken, then bp will spike. That's why we also consider organic brain problems or even psychological patterns can interfere.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
