Hypertension Q & A

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?

High blood pressure usually causes no noticeable symptoms, which means many men and women can have hypertension without knowing it until they have a more serious medical event like a heart attack or stroke. Having blood pressure evaluated on a regular basis is important for diagnosing hypertension as early as possible so it can be treated.

What risk factors are associated with high blood pressure?

High blood pressure is more common among people who:

are older
are overweight or obese
lead inactive or sedentary lives
smoke
abuse alcohol
consume diets high in unhealthy fats
have a family history of hypertension or heart disease
have diabetes

How is high blood pressure treated?

Treatment of high blood pressure typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medication designed to reduce blood pressure. Being more physically active, eating a diet low in unhealthy fats and high in fiber, quitting smoking, and losing excess weight may help lower pressure in many people. Seeing the doctor on a routine basis is also important for ensuring medication dosing remains optimized for the patient's needs, especially as they get older or their risk factors change. Sometimes, other tests will be recommended to check for heart disease, diabetes or other medical issues. At Health One Family Medicine, every treatment plan is carefully developed and tailored based on each patient's specific needs.
