blood pressure

Are you someone with blood pressure? Are you aware that an unattended rise in blood pressure  would cause severe health risks? What happens when blood pressure increases incessantly?

High blood pressure is that silent killer quietly damages blood vessels and leads to serious health problems. Making lifestyle changes and taking prescribed medications as directed can improve  your quality of life and lower your risk of cardio disease, stroke, and other chronic diseases.

Is the range of your Blood Pressure healthy or unhealthy? Getting your blood pressure checked  is the best method to find out.

Resistant hypertension is when your blood pressure remains high or uncontrolled despite  medication. Hypertension is a significant health problem in and of itself. It’s even more frustrating  when taking multiple medicines but still doesn’t feel better. As people with long-term, hard-to treat conditions are more likely to have a stroke, kidney disease, or cardio failure than people  whose high blood pressure is under control; this makes sense.

If you are a person with resistant hypertension:

∙ Although if you take three blood pressure-lowering medicines, including a diuretic, your  blood pressure stays high (above 130/80 mmHg) (water pill).

∙ ‘You take four or more medicines to control your high blood pressure.

Also, you need to be aware of the underlying condition that causes an increase in high blood  pressure.

1. Old age

2. Have chronic kidney disease
