On the other hand there are of course disâ€" eases such as Bright‘s disease, artorioâ€" sclerosis and diabetes in which high blood pressure is a symptom of seriâ€" ous import, but even then it is not the blood pressure that is serious, but the underlying discase. If the disease can be cured, the high blood pressure must be regarded as conservative, enâ€" abling the circulation to go on in spite of the obstacles that the disorder has put in its way. | ;i Increased blood pressure may come |from a variety of causes, which are ;| associated with one of the following ) | conditions: obstruction to the flow of |iblood in the minute blood vessels; spasm of the larger blood vessels;l‘ "'increased volume of the blood; in-, | creased action of the heart. Any or' 'i all of these conditions may be owingi | to disease; more often they are just | temporary. Thus the diameter of thel | blood vessels, influencing the pressure: within them, is changing constantly| under varying mechanical or emo-l' tional conditions. Often the mere fact | that the blood pressure is being mea-! ’sured will in a nervous person cause| | it to rise; and it is only after suchj | a person has been examined many | times that the doctor can determrnef the true degree of pressure. Exercise] | such as walking to the doctor‘s office,‘ ,espoclnlly on a cold or windy way or soon after a meal, will have the same effect. Fear, elation, mental depres-: sion,â€"in fact any strong emotion,â€" will cause a temporary rise or fall in blood pressure; and as a result of overeating or of an excessive meat diet or even of habitually drinking too much water there will be an inâ€" crease in pressure that will persist as long as such unhygienic habits are] continued. So much has been written in popular articles about blood pressureâ€"by which is usually meant high blood pressureâ€"that the term has become a regular bugaboo.
