DX, RX, and HX hypertension? -

What do these stand for? If someone can give me brief explanation, of them, it would be very helpful - I m a high school student doing a research paper on hypertension.

DX - diagnosis RX - prescriptions/medications HX - history (probably like family history which increases your chance of developing high blood pressure, or social history which means lifestyle that increases your chance like alcoholism and poor diet) These are the usually meanings for these abreviations. There is plenty of information about hypertension (aka high blood pressure) out there. Google it and you should get more than enough info
