High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common yet serious condition that affects millions of people worldwide. If left uncontrolled, it can lead to severe health complications, including heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, and vision problems. At TEATREE Hospital, we offer comprehensive care for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of blood pressure to help you maintain optimal cardiovascular health.

Symptoms of High Blood Pressure

Often referred to as the “silent killer,” high blood pressure typically does not present noticeable symptoms until it causes significant damage to the heart or organs. However, some individuals may experience:

• Headaches
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Chest pain
• Blurred vision

Regular blood pressure checks are essential for identifying and managing hypertension, as many people with high blood pressure do not experience symptoms.

Diagnosis and Treatment

At TEATREE Hospital, we conduct thorough evaluations to diagnose high blood pressure. This includes multiple blood pressure readings taken at different times to assess your levels accurately. Our healthcare professionals may also perform blood tests, kidney function tests, and imaging studies to rule out secondary causes of hypertension.

Once diagnosed, our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your blood pressure effectively. Treatment options include:

1. Lifestyle Modifications:

   • Dietary Changes: A heart-healthy diet such as the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet, which includes low-sodium, high-potassium, and nutrient-rich foods.
   • Exercise: Regular physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, helps lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health.
   • Weight Management: Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can significantly reduce the strain on your heart.
   • Stress Reduction: Techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises can help lower stress and blood pressure.

2. Medications: If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient, medications may be prescribed to help control blood pressure. Common classes of medications include:

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

3. Regular Monitoring: Monitoring your blood pressure regularly at home and during visits to the hospital helps track your progress and ensures that treatment is effective.
