A member asked:
Could i prevent genetic high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Genetic abnormalities are inherited by definition so if you have inherited such a disorder you may not be able to prevent it. You may however be able to modify the expression of such a disorder by early detection, evaluation and appropriate treatment. This should bed discussed with your personal caregiver.
