Yes: Essential hypertension is blood pressure problems that can occur in someone who has a genetic predisposition or if they have risk factors, such as heart disease, obesity. Etc. It can be controlled with medications, maintaining a good exercise routine. It can occur in pregnancy also. Eclampsia is the hypertension related to pregnancy and is different. All can be controlled with adequate care.
