High Blood Pressure

What is high blood pressure?

Your blood pressure is measured by the degree of pressure placed on arterial walls during heartbeats (systolic pressure) and the pressure placed in the brief pause between heartbeats (diastolic pressure). Healthy blood pressure is below 120 systolic and 80 diastolic.

What causes high blood pressure?

A number of different things can cause high blood pressure. Primary hypertension develops with no clear cause. The first step in treating high blood pressure is determining the likely cause. Some of the things that can contribute to primary and secondary hypertension include:

Primary Hypertension	Secondary Hypertension
Genetic predisposition	Thyroid issues
Sedentary lifestyle	Kidney disease
Unhealthy diet	Obstructive sleep apnea
Being overweight or obese	Congenital heart defects
Smoking	Certain medications
	Illicit drug use
	Problems with your adrenal glands

What can improve high blood pressure?

There are steps you can take to dramatically improve your blood pressure. Taking a proactive approach is a critical part of your overall health and wellness and should be a top priority if you have elevated blood pressure.

Medications can help bring your blood pressure down to manageable levels. There are numerous drugs to choose from, and it can take a period of trial and error to find the right drug therapy for your needs.

While medications can be an effective way to lower blood pressure, lifestyle modifications can deliver long-term results and boost other areas of your health. We will work with you to identify areas where you can make improvements and will support you as you embrace new habits and practices.
