About "Hypertension management"

When the blood pressure is more than 120/80 mmHg, it is called hypertension. If left untreated, it can lead to heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, heart failure, kidney diseases, loss of vision, metabolic syndrome, memory problems, and dementia. Hypertension can be managed by:

• Home remedies like eating a low-salt diet, checking your blood pressure regularly at home, being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and reduce alcohol consumption.
• Medications like Thiazide diuretics, ACE (Angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors, ARBs (Angiotensin II receptor blockers), and calcium channel blockers are used.
• If these medicines do not control your blood pressure, then your doctor might prescribe alpha blockers, beta blockers, aldosterone antagonists, renin inhibitors, etc.
