Hypertension Management

Hypertension Management

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a common but serious medical condition that can lead to heart disease, kidney damage, stroke, and other complications if left uncontrolled. Effective hypertension management involves a combination of accurate diagnosis, lifestyle modifications, medication, and regular monitoring. At our clinic, we take a comprehensive and patient-centered approach to managing hypertension, helping patients achieve and maintain healthy blood pressure levels to reduce their long-term health risks.

What is Hypertension?

Hypertension is defined as blood pressure consistently above 130/80 mmHg. It is often referred to as the "silent killer" because it typically shows no symptoms until it has already caused significant damage to organs.

Diagnosis & Monitoring

Our team uses accurate diagnostic tools and continuous monitoring to detect and manage hypertension:

  • Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM)
  • Home Blood Pressure Tracking
  • Lab Tests (to check kidney function, cholesterol, glucose)
  • ECG or Echocardiogram (if heart damage is suspected)

Treatment & Management Options

1. Lifestyle Modifications
  • Low-sodium, heart-healthy diet (DASH diet)
  • Regular physical activity (30 minutes/day)
  • Weight loss and obesity control
  • Limiting alcohol and avoiding tobacco
2. Medications

    Depending on your individual case, one or more medications may be prescribed, such as:

  • ACE inhibitors
  • Beta-blockers
  • Diuretics
  • Calcium channel blockers
  • ARBs (Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Hypertension is often called the "silent killer" because it typically has no obvious symptoms. In some cases, people may experience headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, or nosebleeds — but these usually occur when blood pressure is extremely high.

Hypertension is diagnosed by measuring your blood pressure using a digital monitor or manual sphygmomanometer. A reading consistently over 130/80 mmHg on multiple occasions confirms the diagnosis. In some cases, ambulatory or home monitoring may be advised.

Yes, in early or mild cases, lifestyle changes alone — such as eating a low-sodium diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, managing stress, and reducing alcohol — can significantly lower blood pressure. However, in moderate to severe cases, medication is often required along with lifestyle changes.

Uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and vision loss. Managing your blood pressure helps prevent these serious complications and improves overall health and quality of life.
