High Blood Pressure treatment

Product / Service Description

Treatment Treatment for high blood pressure depends on several factors, such as severity and the associated risks of developing cardiovascular disease or stroke. The doctor will recommend different treatments as blood pressure increases: Slightly elevated: The doctor may suggest some lifestyle changes for people with slightly elevated blood pressure who have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Moderately high: If blood pressure is reasonably high, and the doctor believes that the risk of developing cardiovascular disease during the next 10 years is above 20 percent, they will probably prescribe medication and recommend certain lifestyle changes. Severe: If blood pressure levels reach 180/120 mm Hg or above, this is a hypertensive crisis. An immediate change to the type or dosage of medication may be necessary.
