'''Secondary Hypertension''' is a type of [[Hypertension|high blood pressure]] that is caused by an underlying health condition. Unlike [[Primary Hypertension]], which has no identifiable cause, Secondary Hypertension is a symptom of a separate health issue, such as [[Kidney Disease]], [[Adrenal Gland Disorders]], or certain [[Medications|medication side effects]].

== Causes ==
Secondary Hypertension can be caused by a variety of health conditions and factors. Some of the most common causes include:

* [[Kidney Disease]]: This is one of the most common causes of Secondary Hypertension. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, they can cause an increase in blood pressure.
* [[Adrenal Gland Disorders]]: Disorders of the adrenal glands, such as [[Cushing's Syndrome]] or [[Pheochromocytoma]], can cause Secondary Hypertension.
* [[Medications]]: Certain medications, including birth control pills, decongestants, and over-the-counter pain relievers, can cause Secondary Hypertension.

== Symptoms ==
The symptoms of Secondary Hypertension are similar to those of Primary Hypertension. They can include:

* [[Headache]]
* [[Dizziness]]
* [[Shortness of Breath]]
* [[Chest Pain]]

== Diagnosis ==
Diagnosis of Secondary Hypertension typically involves a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history. Additional tests may be required to identify the underlying cause of the high blood pressure.

== Treatment ==
Treatment for Secondary Hypertension involves addressing the underlying cause of the high blood pressure. This can involve medication, lifestyle changes, or in some cases, surgery.
