One of the peculiarities of the hypertension is the difficulty of detecting it, as in the majority of cases it does not present specific signals. In some cases the most noticeable symptom that its diagnosis is headaches that intermittently cause tension.

There are cases when the blood pressure is too high and hypertension appears immediately, presenting itself as a headache causing the following symptoms: confusion, nausea or vomiting, bleeding from nose and vision problems.

The causes of hypertension may already be present in the body by being inevitable or arise as result of the style of life that the person carries, which can be avoided.

1) Unavoidable causes:

• Genetic factors: when a first-degree relative also suffers from high blood pressure.

• Race: Medical studies have proven that especially the African American races suffer from hypertension by little vitamin D your body produces.

• Age: a person's blood pressure has increased with the passing of the years

• Diseases: kidney and diabetic

2) Causes that can be prevented:

• Overweight

• Consumption of alcohol and tobacco

• Stress and anxiety

• Excessive consumption of salt

Hypertension is defined as the excessive elevation of blood pressure levels, which is activated by the heart when is exerts pressure on the arteries to pump blood that reaches the entire body.

The activities that are done to combat a situation that has already become stressful are similar to those that the person can use long before it reaches the point of affecting their body.

To be physically and emotionally prepared for difficult situations it is recommended:

· Eat a healthy diet

· Exercising

· Taking a break from daily scheduled activities to rest

· Recreational activities in your free time

· Having hobbies

When stress is combated through medicine, tranquilizers known as anxiolytics, which function as central nervous system depressants, are usually used to reduce and eliminate anxiety symptoms. This typ of treatment should be prescribed by a doctor.

There are also other ways and techniques to get out of stress such as exercising the body, using behavioural techniques by actively working on changing the distorting thoughts with positive emotions, self-control before reactions that may cause damage to the nervous system, and a very important technique that relaxes the body is breathing. The idea is to prevent acute stress from becoming chronic.

There are two types of stress recognized: Acute stress which is caused by temporal passing eventualities that cause the alteration of emotions and chronic stress which entails a much longer time period according to the crisis that is met. Specialists diagnose the development of stress in people through three phases that are:

1. Alarm and escape phase in which the body tries to release all possible energy so as not to let stress accumulate

2. The adaptation of resistance phase where an accumulation of stress is maintained, adrenaline is on permanent alert, and the body tries to recover normalcy

3. Depletion phase at which stage the stress has already become chronic and there is a decrease in physical endurance, leading the person to be unable to work or develop in different areas of their life effectively.

Stress has several symptoms that include both the physical and emotional. Physically a person may experience a lack of energy, headache, muscle aches, stomach problems, nervous tics, and skin alterations similar to allergies.

Emotions are linked to stress and some of the emotional symptoms that may occur are: irritability, frustration, lack of concentration, insomnia, and in some cases one may reach the point of depression.

Taking into account the goals that all people pursue in life, we can classify the causes of stress from two perspectives:

1. Personal Causes:

· Economic/monetary problems

· Sentimental relationships

· Family problems

· Death of a loved one

· Illnesses

· Lifestyle change

· Insecurity

2. Professional Causes:
