Major Triggers of Hypertension Disorder

Obesity

High blood pressure can be triggered in an individual dealing with obesity as a result of their high ratio of fat to other tissues in the body. Excessive amounts of adipose or fat tissue may not have much of a practical benefit for an individual's body, but they do require all of the same things any other tissues need. The adipose tissue requires a constant supply of blood, nutrients, and oxygen to live. Because the excess tissue requires these things on top of the functional body tissues, the heart, blood, and blood vessels have to work together to circulate more blood to supply this extra fat tissue. The heart has to take on an increased workload to get the blood through all of the additional ancestry vessels that supply the excess fatty tissues. Blood volume has to increase to sustain homeostasis in the body, and increased blood volume puts more pressure on the walls of the arteries. This mechanism causes the individual to have chronic high blood pressure due to their obesity.
