High Blood Pressure Treatments

How can I treat high blood pressure?

It’s important that you take steps to lower high blood pressure as soon as you’ve been diagnosed so that you can prevent any further potential damage to your heart. A high BP can cause a number of severe health problems such as a heart attack, a stroke and kidney disease.

A high blood pressure treatment can be as simple as making improvements to your lifestyle, but may people also use prescription treatments. Often you’ll be told to combine more than one high blood pressure treatment to boost its effectiveness.

You can buy a prescription high blood pressure treatment from HealthExpress.eu if you complete an online consultation with one of our registered doctors and they are certain it’s safe for you to use the medication.

Lifestyle improvements

If you have a high BP you can help reduce it by making healthy changes to your lifestyle. Most hypertensive patients will need a prescription high blood pressure treatment too, but getting healthier will still have a positive impact on your health.

You should stop smoking if you have a high BP. That’s because each cigarette can raise your blood pressure by as much as 10mmgHg for up to an hour after smoking. If you throw the cigarettes away, your blood pressure won’t fluctuate so dramatically during the day, and you’ll help to lower high blood pressure.

Dietary improvements

You should eat more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy products to help lower a high BP. Avoiding saturated fat and cholesterol, combined with a healthy diet, can lower high blood pressure by as much as 14mmHg.

Improved physical activity

In general we should all do 30 minutes of exercise five times a week. If you have a high BP, it’s even more important that you exercise regularly. Obesity places your heart under extra pressure, and carrying weight around your waist is a known risk factor for high blood pressure.

Prescription high blood pressure treatment

There are a number of high blood pressure treatments available, which all cause blood vessels to expand. By relaxing the blood vessels, a high blood pressure treatment will allow blood to flow through the vessels more easily. It means the heart doesn’t have to contract so hard to pump blood around the body, which helps lower high blood pressure.

If you need a high blood pressure treatment, there is a range to choose from:

Amlodipine

Amlodipine besylate blocks the transport of calcium into the smooth muscle cells lining the arteries, reducing blood pressure as a result. It can be taken with or without food just once-a-day. Amlodipine is prescribed to prevent angina and lower cholesterol, as well as a high blood pressure treatment.

Atenolol

Atenolol is a beta-blocker that stops the nervous system from stimulating the heartbeat by blocking receptors in the heart. This high blood pressure treatment causes blood pressure to fall because the heart is working more efficiently. It’s also prescribed to help with chest pain and reduce enzyme elevation.

Bendroflumethiazide

Bendroflumethiazide is a diuretic that reduces the amount of excess water in the body. By interfering with how salt and water pass across the cells in the kidneys, Bendroflumethiazide is an effective high blood pressure treatment which also reduces water retention.

Lisinopril

Lisinopril stops blood vessels from narrowing by stopping the ACE enzyme from working properly. This high blood pressure treatment stops the ACE enzyme from producing a compound that restricts blood vessels. Lisinopril helps with high BP because it allows blood to flow through vessels more easily. It’s also prescribed to treat symptoms of heart failure and boost survival rates after a heart attack.

Ramipril

Ramipril works in the same way as Lisinopril because it’s also an ACE inhibitor. This high blood pressure treatment helps to lower a high BP because it allows the blood vessels to relax and widen.
