Hypertension is a burning health problem in modern world, full of worries and anxieties. Subjects at high risk of future hypertension are either the persons belonging to hypertensive family or having high resting heart rate. Purpose: To investigate whether normotensive young adults with family history of hypertension demonstrate exaggerated cardiovascular responses to autonomic stressors as compared to normotensive young adults without family history of hypertension. Research Methodology: 32 Subjects, age between 18 to 20 years belonging to hypertensive family were selected as case and another 32 subjects, age between 18 to 20 years were selected as control from non hypertensive family. Resting Heart Rate (HR) and Mean Blood Pressure (MBP) were recorded and found normal. Blood Pressure (BP) was recorded by Mercury Sphygmomanometer. Changes in HR and MBP induced by autonomic stressors like Cold Pressure Test and Valsalva Manoeuvre were recorded during the test and in recovery phase. Results: By giving autonomic stressors significant increase in HR and MBP was observed in both the groups. But response to autonomic stressors is significantly higher in subjects belonging to hypertensive family. Conclusion: Our results shows that, subjects belonging to hypertensive families are found to be more reactive towards physical stimuli. These young adults are more prone for hypertension in future as compared to subjects belonging to normotensive families. Early detection of proneness to hypertension may help an individual to lead a healthy life by altering the life style (by diet restriction, exercise etc.).
