Hypertension Management in Knoxville, TN
Blood pressure monitoring, medication management, and lifestyle modifications to control high blood pressure.
What is Hypertension Management?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is often called the "silent killer" because it typically has no symptoms but significantly increases your risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and vision loss. Blood pressure above 130/80 mmHg is considered high and requires management. Contributing factors include genetics, age, obesity, high sodium intake, lack of exercise, stress, and excessive alcohol consumption. Treatment options include lifestyle changes (DASH diet, regular exercise, stress reduction, limiting alcohol), and medications such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, beta-blockers, or calcium channel blockers. Seeing a doctor is essential because untreated hypertension damages blood vessels and organs silently over years. Your doctor will determine the right medication combination, monitor for side effects, and help you achieve target blood pressure levels to prevent life-threatening complications.
