What is the main reason of high blood pressure?

My dad has high blood pressure. He goes to hospital to get medical check regularly. He takes meds for his high blood pressure. 

I don't think my grand parents had high blood pressure. Is it a hereditary? What is the main cause of high blood pressure?

    Smoking, being overweight, and inactivity are some common reasons why one may have high blood pressure. Also, yes, HBP can be hereditary.

    It could be your age, stress, or obesity.

    The age can also be a reason of high blood pressure, but also nicotine  alcohol, family history, luck of exercises and salt.

    Ne abbiamo discusso tantissimo in un evento ancora in corso se non c'è ereditarie
    lo stile Vita il cibo sbagliato e vita sedentaria sono i colpevoli di solito
    Inoltre tuo.padre se già non lo fa deve mangiare molto leggero di sera così evita picchi di insulina che coinvolgono pura la pressione
