Hypertension medication - online doctor's appointment

The most popular blood pressure medication is ACE inhibitors, whose active ingredient lowers blood pressure.

But apart from these medications, it is also possible to use:

Calcium channel blockers, which prevent the arteries from absorbing calcium (which reduces the risk of them constricting);

Beta-blockers, which lower the tone of the sympathetic nervous system;

Diuretics, which have a diuretic effect and flush excess water and sodium out of the body.

Of course, it is up to the doctor to decide which therapy is best for you. These medications may change during the course of treatment, because sometimes you have to try a few options for hypertension. However, remember that with this disease you also have to remember about prevention.

Hypertension pills - can you cure the disease with them?

You need to know that taking medication for hypertension regularly is not enough. Of course, the measures recommended by your doctor will keep you healthy. But in addition to this, your lifestyle, i.e. your diet and physical activity, is extremely important. Unfortunately, if you have hypertension, you should maintain a healthy body weight and get regular check-ups. What should be tested?

First of all (at least once a year or more often if recommended by a doctor), you should check:

your blood count;

lipid profile;

triglycerides;

uric acid;

creatinine;

glucose;

sodium and potassium levels;

urine;

ECG.

In addition to all this, you should remember to measure your blood pressure every day (preferably in the morning and in the evening). This is something that gives you control over your health, because if you measure it frequently (and if you write it down), you will be able to quickly spot any irregularities. In addition, you should definitely pay attention to your diet. It is also very helpful to include some kind of sport in your daily routine. Being overweight affects your fitness and fitness affects your overall health. Therefore, it is not just about temporarily following a diet, but about changing your lifestyle in general.
