- Hypertension Causes, Prevention and Treatment By:-Geoff Lord
Clifton Neal of Norman couldn't believe it. Dr. Castro at the Norman North Clinic broke the bad news. He had hypertension.
Clifton had a good excuse. After all, as a field manager in McDonnell Douglas, he certainly had his share of stress. And, let's not even talk about the pipe smoking.
According to Dr. Castro just being male was a cause of his hypertension. The fact that he was 44 certainly didn't help.
Unfortunately, hypertension rarely causes any symptoms until it has caused some significant damage and possibly a stroke. In fact, arterial hypertension can be surprisingly severe before there are any symptoms.
