Hypertension if left untreated can cause a range of serious and life-changing health issues such as heart attacks, strokes and kidney disease. It can also contribute to dementia. The challenge with hypertension is that it can be asymptomatic and so many people don’t know they have it. Without awareness and regular checks, the damage can be done silently resulting in serious illness or a life-changing event which can be prevented with properly prescribed medication and lifestyle changes. Finding out you have a high blood pressure because of a heart attack or stroke is devastating.
How is hypertension treated?
Everyone with hypertension is advised to make lifestyle changes and many people are also prescribed medication. Lifestyle changes may include:-
- Reducing salt intake
- Eating a low-fat diet
- Doing more exercise
- Losing weight
- Reducing or eliminating alcohol intake
There are different medications available depending on your age, your current level of hypertension and whether or not you have other health conditions. Some people have to stay on blood pressure medication for life but others can eventually stop taking it if their blood pressure remains consistently low for a long period of time.
The theme for World Hypertension Day 2020 is ‘measure your blood pressure, control it, live longer.’ Pharmacy Planet can offer advice on monitoring your blood pressure safely and dispenses blood pressure medications prescribed by GPs.
