Is High Blood Pressure Genetic?Added:
But if you go to the doctor and they find that you have high blood pressure, and they do a full cardiac workout, everything's normal. EKG is normal, EEG is normal, heart sounds normal, lung sounds normal, everything's normal with your heart. They're going to medicate you because they're going to say, "You know what? George, your father's brother had high blood pressure. Your mom's brother has high blood pressure. You have genetically inherited hypertension, [music] genetically inherited high blood pressure." But if you ask them, "What gene did I inherit [music] that caused this condition to exist?" That's when their face would go blank because there is no gene for that condition.
