High blood pressure in young adults can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Unhealthy lifestyle habits : such as poor diet, obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive alcohol or caffeine consumption
- Genetic factors : having a family history of high blood pressure can increase the risk of developing the condition
- Underlying health conditions : such as kidney disease, diabetes, and sleep apnea
- Certain medications : such as the contraceptive pill, steroids, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
It's important for young adults to be aware of these risk factors and to make healthy lifestyle choices to help prevent high blood pressure.
