• Age
• Obesity or being overweight
• Lack of physical activity
• Poor diet, especially one high in sodium
• Smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke
• Chronic stress
• Sleep apnea
• Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid problems

Preventive measures for high blood pressure:

• Maintaining a healthy weight
• Exercising regularly
• Eating a healthy and balanced diet, including limiting sodium intake
• Quitting smoking and avoiding exposure to secondhand smoke
• Managing stress through relaxation techniques or therapy
• Getting enough sleep
