Control your blood
pressure
Submitted by the Morrow
County Health District
High blood pres
sure is an extremely com
mon illness, especially as
people age. Today there are
a great number and variety
of medicines and treatments
for hypertension. Despite
all the wonderful medi
cines, it is still common for
people not to take hyperten
sion seriously.
Why should you
take hypertension serious
ly? Because it is the main
risk factor for strokes and
is a major risk factor in
heart attacks, heart failure
and diabetic kidney disease.
These illnesses are the ma
jor causes of death and dis
ability as a person ages.
Why don’t people
take hypertension more se
riously? It causes very few
symptoms until there is a
stroke or heart attack. The
cost of medicines can add
up, and there can be side
effects from the medicines.
Furthermore, many people
just have not had their blood
pressure checked, or think
that lowering their blood

recommend starting with
lifestyle changes and an
inexpensive diuretic called
hydrochlorothiazide. Life
style changes include an
improved diet with reduced
salt and fat content, an in
crease in physical activity
to improve the function of
the heart and blood ves
sels, and weight reduction
to within 10-15% of one’s
ideal weight. If a person
smokes, it is extrem ely
important to quit.
For a person with
hypertension, medicines
can be chosen depending
on a variety of factors. For
exam ple, ace-inhibitors
are particularly useful in
diabetes because they pro
tect one’s renal function. In
someone with angina, beta
blockers are a good choice.
Your doctor can prescribe
the most useful medications
for you.
