Whats the major contrbutor to high blood preasure ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one really knows.: That is why it is called "essential" hypertension. There are many contributors but it is hard to pin it on just one. Everyone seems to have a small amount of sodium retention or perhaps sodium overload.
