Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a very common medical issue that people of all ages can experience. At MedBridge WV, our medical team has extensive experience in diagnosing and treating hypertension, so that you can live a healthier life after treatment. We have clinics in both Fairmont and Mannington and serve the surrounding areas. While hypertension symptoms can feel overwhelming at first, MedBridge VW is dedicated to getting you in and out of the clinic feeling better as soon as possible. Here are some of the most common questions that we hear from patients about hypertension:

How to reduce hypertension?


There are several ways to reduce the symptoms of hypertension. Depending on your lifestyle, some of these methods can be more effective for your health than others. Some examples of ways to reduce hypertension include eating a healthier diet, exercising, medication, cutting down on smoking or stopping smoking completely, getting more sleep, and limiting alcohol consumption. While medication can be the right approach for some individuals with hypertension, lifestyle changes can be more effective for others. When you come into MedBridge VW for your appointment, we will ask you about your medical history and run tests to determine the right treatment strategy to keep you healthy.

What are the symptoms of hypertension?


The symptoms of hypertension vary, and some people may not experience symptoms at all. Among patients who do have hypertension symptoms, these can include headaches or migraines, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, anxiety, or difficulty breathing. For people with lifestyle habits that often cause hypertension, it can be difficult to determine if the symptoms being experienced are due to hypertension, or other illnesses that can arise from these habits. At our clinic, our team can run various tests to determine if symptoms you may be experiencing are due to high blood pressure, or to something else.

What is the best treatment for hypertension?


Changing your lifestyle is one of the quickest and most effective, as well as long-lasting, ways to treat hypertension. For example, exercising more, eating a healthy diet with little salt, losing weight, not smoking or drinking alcohol, and getting lots of sleep are some examples of excellent ways to treat hypertension. But for some patients, all of these lifestyle changes are not enough to treat high blood pressure. Medication is also an effective option for many people with hypertension. Depending on your goal blood pressure level, our team may prescribe one, two, or even more hypertension medications. Finding the right combination of medications that work well for you can take time, but our team can help you through the process.

What causes high blood pressure?


High blood pressure can be caused for many reasons. For some people, genetics play a part in getting hypertension, sometimes at a young age. However, many people experience hypertension because of lifestyle practices, such as eating an unhealthy diet with too much salt, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, not exercising, or not getting enough sleep. Often, it is a combination of these lifestyle practices that can cause hypertension. Yet for others, other medical conditions, such as diabetes or obesity, can cause high blood pressure. Pregnancy and old age are also potential reasons that some individuals develop hypertension. Regardless of why people develop hypertension, there are luckily a few very effective and safe interventions to help improve your health and lower your blood pressure.
