ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What Is Hypertension?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is the diagnosis given when readings consistently rise above normal. It is well known that hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack or other illness if left untreated. Referred to as a “silent killer” because it does not always produce symptoms that alert you to the problem, hypertension is treatable when diagnosed early.

Can Hypertension Be Controlled?

In many individuals, hypertension can be controlled by altering lifestyle and- minimizing stress, and by appropriate medication prescribed and monitored by your doctor. The American Heart Association recommends the following lifestyle suggestions to prevent or control hypertension:

Don’t smoke.

 

Have regular physical

Reduce salt and fat intake.

 

checkups.

Maintain proper weight.

 

Monitor your blood

 

Exercise routinely.

 

pressure at periodic intervals.

Why Measure Blood Pressure at Home?

It is now well known that, for many individuals, blood pressure readings taken in a doctor’s office or hospital setting might be elevated as a result of apprehension and anxiety. This response is commonly called “white coat hypertension.” In any case, self-measurement at home supplements your doc- tor’s readings and provides a more accurate, complete blood pressure history. In addition, clinical studies have shown that the detection and treatment of hypertension is improved when patients both consult their physicians and monitor their own blood pressure at home.
