M5-I What Causes High Blood Pressure? Blood pressure is only classed as high if it doesn’t go down when you rest. Permanently raised blood pressure can be caused by several factors such as hardening of the arteries, smoking or drinking too much alcohol. It can also be caused by cholesterol, a type of fat, building up inside your blood vessels and making them narrower. Being under stress can add to the problem.
