The most common disorder among patients with essential hypertension is abnormality of arteries. Patients with essential hypertension experience stiffness or lack of elasticity in arteries that are most distant from heart. The arteries in heart supply oxygen containing blood and nutrients to all tissues in body. Moreover these heart arteries or arterioles are connected to capillaries in tissues to veins which returns blood to heart as well as lungs.

Another is coffee drinking which might seem harmless but in reality can actually increase blood pressure. Studies shows that a daily intake of 5 cups of coffee a day may cause a mild increase in blood pressure especially among elder people who are already experiencing hypertension however, for those individuals with normal blood pressures an intake of same number of cups of coffee will not increase their blood pressures. Another is salt which is also known to increase blood pressures of people with hypertension. The recommendable daily consumption of salt is less than six grams per day in general population and a much lower level for people with hypertension.

Obesity is another contributor in increasing blood pressures. In fact, obesity was known to contribute to hypertension in many ways. For one thing, obesity was known to lead to greater output of blood since heart needs to pump out more blood in order to supply excess fat tissues. The increased in pumping function of heart can actually raise blood pressure. Aside from that, obesity is also known to provide tendency for kidneys to retain salt.
