A member asked:
Is it possible to have high blood pressure even if you don't consume a lot of sodium, don't drink alcohol, don't smoke and exercise regularly?

Yes. Salt intake, alcohol and smoking make matters worse, but a person with healthy health habits can get hypertension, in part due to genetic make up of the person. Wish you good health!

Yes, it can happen and it usually falls in category of secondary hypertension, i.e. hypertension is caused by another condition such as kidney disease, endocrine abnormality, etc.
