What is High Blood Pressure?

Hypertension, is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. It’s typically
categorized into three hypertension stages:

Understanding these stages helps us create targeted treatment plans and closely monitor your progress over time.

Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. This condition can cause significant health complications if not managed effectively. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious outcomes such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure.

Symptoms and Causes of
High Blood Pressure

Identifying High Blood Pressure stages early can prevent complications.

Stage 1 High Blood Pressure typically involves systolic pressure ranging from 130-139 mm Hg and diastolic pressure from 80-89 mm Hg.

Stage 2 High Blood Pressure is marked by a systolic reading of 140 mm/Hg or higher or diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher.

Hypertension symptoms early can help in timely intervention. Our comprehensive blood pressure treatment focuses on identifying and managing these high blood pressure symptoms effectively.

What To Do When Your Blood Pressure
Readings Spike

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or managing high blood pressure long term, it’s crucial to understand what to do when your readings spike — especially if you’re monitoring at home.

How to Manage a Sudden High Reading:

A single high reading isn’t always an emergency. Sit down, rest for 5 minutes, then retake your blood pressure.

Avoid
Triggers
Skip caffeine, alcohol, smoking, or high-sodium foods — all of which can contribute to temporary spikes.

Check for
Symptoms
If you’re also experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, vision changes, or dizziness, seek immediate medical attention.

One Number

readings (e.g., consistently over 140/90 mm Hg) may indicate a need to adjust your treatment plan.
