Labile hypertension, jogging, and diet: clues to the etiology of essential hypertension?
A labile hypertensive black man analyzes his own personal history of hypertension. Using the research literature, systematically-applied behavioral risk factors, and his own body's apparent response to risk behavior, he attempts to uncover some useful leads for future biomedical research on essential hypertension. Inferential evidence suggests that the central mechanism underlying the onset of essential hypertension could be a series of allergic, reactive events which impair a blood pressure-regulating hormone synthesized in the brain.
