Hypertension Management
Hypertension management involves controlling high blood pressure to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. This can be achieved through lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and reducing salt intake. Medications may also be prescribed by healthcare providers to help lower blood pressure levels.
Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential in hypertension management. Patients are encouraged to check their blood pressure at home and attend routine check-ups with their healthcare provider. Understanding the importance of adherence to treatment plans and making necessary lifestyle adjustments can significantly improve overall health outcomes.
