Understanding Hypertension Management and Its Importance
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It occurs when the force of blood against artery walls remains consistently high, leading to serious health risks. If left untreated, hypertension can result in heart disease, kidney failure, and other complications. At Southern Oklahoma Kidney Center, we specialize in effective hypertension management to help patients maintain optimal health.
Recognizing the Importance of Hypertension Management
Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. It happens when blood pressure against artery walls is continuously high, which poses major health dangers. Heart disease, renal failure, and other problems can arise from untreated hypertension. At Southern Oklahoma Kidney Center, we specialize in effective hypertension management to help patients maintain optimal health.
Hypertension Types and Their Causes
The two main types of hypertension are:
- Primary hypertension and
- Secondary hypertension
Primary hypertension develops gradually over time and has no identified cause. On the other hand, underlying conditions including kidney failure, sleep apnea, or thyroid problems cause secondary hypertension. Additionally, a variety of medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers, can raise blood pressure.
Effective Treatment of Hypertension with Lifestyle Modifications
A mix of medication and lifestyle modifications are needed to manage hypertension. Although regular routines are important in maintaining normal blood pressure levels, patients may require blood pressure medication. However, daily habits play an important role in keeping blood pressure levels stable. Some key steps on how to do so include:
- Sodium reduction to prevent fluid retention and ease pressure on blood vessels.
- Potassium intake to balance sodium levels and support heart function.
- Stress management methods to reduce stress include deep breathing, meditation, and exercise.
- Avoiding substances like nasal decongestants that may contribute to increased blood pressure.
