A Doctor's Approach to Managing Your Blood Pressure
What is high blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of blood on artery walls. Readings above 140/90 mmHg at the clinic or 135/85 at home are usually considered high.
When to seek medical advice
Have your blood pressure checked at least every five years from age 40. See a GP sooner for symptoms like severe headaches, vision changes or chest pain.
Available treatments
Common medicines include ACE inhibitors (ramipril), ARBs (losartan), calcium channel blockers (amlodipine), thiazide diuretics and beta blockers. Most people need two or more to reach target.
What to expect
Treatment is usually lifelong but flexible. Readings are checked regularly and doses adjusted to reach targets safely.
Self-care
Reduce salt to under 6 g a day, eat more fruit and veg, be physically active, limit alcohol, maintain a healthy weight, stop smoking and manage stress.
