Managing High Blood Pressure: We’re Here to Help

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed with high blood pressure, suspect you might have it, or need support in managing your condition, our care team is ready to assist. We’ll work closely with you to create a personalized plan that not only helps lower your blood pressure but also improves your overall health and well-being.

What is Hypertension?

Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of your arteries as it flows throughout your body. When this force is consistently too high, it’s called hypertension (or high blood pressure). Over time, untreated hypertension can damage vital organs like your heart, brain, kidneys, and eyes. The good news is that, with the right approach, you can keep your blood pressure within a healthy range.

The Impact of High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure can be harmful even if you don’t experience any noticeable symptoms. Without proper treatment, it can silently affect your body and lead to serious health issues such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, or vision problems. In severe cases, it can even become life-threatening.

What Happens After a Hypertension Diagnosis?

Once you’re diagnosed with high blood pressure, our care team will provide you with a clear plan to manage it. This may include recommendations for lifestyle changes (like diet and exercise) and, if needed, a prescription medication regimen. It’s essential to follow these guidelines carefully. While we’re here to guide you, your commitment to your treatment plan is key to your success.

If you’re prescribed medication, it’s important to take it exactly as directed. Don’t stop taking your medicine without first consulting with your provider. Stopping your medication suddenly could lead to serious complications. If side effects occur, let us know—we’ll work together to find the right treatment for you.

By sticking to your plan and managing your blood pressure, you can significantly reduce your risk of long-term health problems.
