What is Hypertension
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a prevalent heart condition characterized by persistently elevated blood pressure levels. Alarmingly, nearly half of adults in the U.S. suffer from high blood pressure. However, because it often presents without clear signs or symptoms, many individuals are unaware of their condition. Left untreated, high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of:
- Heart attacks
- Strokes
- Heart failure
- Kidney disease
- Vision impairment
- Sexual dysfunction
Given its potential to lead to life-threatening health complications, hypertension is among the most common contributing factors to annual mortality rates.
Our Approach to Hypertension Treatment
If you are dealing with high blood pressure, our team of specialized physicians is dedicated to helping you effectively manage and maintain healthy blood pressure levels over time. We possess extensive experience in addressing treatment-resistant hypertension, a condition where blood pressure remains elevated despite the use of three or more antihypertensive medications.
We Can Assist in Preventing Hypertension
At Epic Medical Associates, we don’t just focus on treating high blood pressure; we are equally committed to preventing hypertension from developing in the first place. Our team can educate you on strategies to prevent heart disease, which often begins with adopting lifestyle behaviors that support blood pressure control. Additionally, we can help you assess your risk for hypertension and guide you in reducing that risk.
In many instances, lifestyle modifications can have a profound impact on blood pressure. Regular exercise, effective stress management techniques, limited alcohol consumption, tobacco cessation, and a balanced diet can all contribute to reducing blood pressure to healthy levels. If lifestyle changes prove insufficient in achieving this goal, Dr. Heena and her team can explore alternative treatment options with you.
