Patient Login Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it can have serious effects on the body without obvious symptoms. Early diagnosis and effective management through lifestyle changes and medications are key to controlling the condition.
Hypertension is often called the ‘silent killer’ because it can have serious effects on the body without obvious symptoms. Early diagnosis and effective management through lifestyle changes and medications are key to controlling the condition.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition where the pressure of blood against the walls of the blood vessels remains consistently high. Over time, this can lead to serious damage and complications, particularly affecting the heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes.
Hypertension can be classified as:
Hypertension often doesn’t show clear symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose based on symptoms alone. However, common symptoms that may be associated with high blood pressure include:
High blood pressure over time can significantly damage the arteries that supply vital organs, leading to their narrowing and impaired function. This can result in serious health issues, including:
Diagnosing hypertension is simple and involves measuring blood pressure on three separate occasions at different times of the day. If the blood pressure remains consistently above 140/90 mmHg on all three readings, hypertension is diagnosed.
Once confirmed, your doctor may investigate any underlying causes based on your medical history and physical examination. Additional tests may include:
It’s important to get your blood pressure checked regularly at least every two years starting at age 18.
If you’re 40 or older, or between 18-39 with a family history of hypertension, ask for an annual check-up.
If you have high blood pressure or other heart disease risk factors, your provider may recommend more frequent readings.
For children aged 3 and older, blood pressure may be measured as part of their yearly check-ups.
Hypertension treatment typically involves medications, along with some lifestyle modifications to help manage blood pressure effectively.
Depending on your condition, your doctor may prescribe a combination of medications to effectively control elevated blood pressure.
If hypertension is secondary to another underlying condition, the treatment plan will focus on addressing the root cause, removing or replacing medications that may be contributing to high blood pressure, or treating thyroid disorders, among other specific causes.
If your blood pressure is high on all three checks, it’s important to see a specialist. Don’t wait for symptoms to appear before seeking professional help, as hypertension is often silent and can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
