Hypertension in skinny person, what the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypertension: An identifiable cause is not clearly found in majority of patients (about 95%) with hypertension. That's why it is called essential or primary hypertension. In the remaining minority, a cause such as renal, vascular, hormonal, etc. Is found.
