Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

There are many reasons for high blood pressure including stress, smoking, aging (as the arteries become more rigid), obesity, high cholesterol and family history.

Certain nutrient deficiencies, thyroid problems, kidney disease (not cause by high blood pressure but high blood pressure causes kidney disease), and certain medications/herbs can also contribute to high blood pressure.

Your wife's blood pressure is very high - she needs immediate medical care.
Best,
Susan
