Early detection
Early detection is the most important when it comes to this disease, as it can be easily kept under control if you manage to catch it early on and avoid complications. This can easily be seen if you go to the doctor for a yearly check-up and they take your blood pressure. If it is a bit too high, then the doctor will recommend that you monitor the blood pressure over the course of a few weeks in order to see if it fluctuates or if it was just elevated at the moment, only to return to normal levels.
Treatment for hypertension is pretty simple, as it generally involves medication and potential life changes so that you can have a healthier lifestyle.
In order to understand when the pressure is at a normal level and when it goes over the limit, we shall be explaining it next!
