High Blood Pressure Q & A<\/h3>\n

What is high blood pressure?<\/span><\/h4>\n

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a serious but common condition. It\u2019s caused when your blood flow places an unhealthy level of pressure on the walls of your blood vessels. Over time, this force causes friction that damages fragile blood vessels and vital organs like your heart.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What are the symptoms of high blood pressure?<\/h3>\n

You can have high blood pressure and not have any symptoms at all \u2014 even when your blood pressure is dangerously high. That\u2019s why high blood pressure is often known as \u201cthe silent killer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, you may have some signs of the condition, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Shortness of breath<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Nosebleeds<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    What method diagnosed high blood pressure?<\/h3>\n

    High blood pressure is easily diagnosed. At Dominion Family Health, your doctor measures your blood pressure with an inflatable cuff placed around your arm. It\u2019s called a sphygmomanometer.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The cuff works by compressing your brachial artery, which momentarily stops blood flow. Then, your doctor listens to your blood pressure with a stethoscope or an electronic monitor as the air slowly leaves the cuff.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Your blood pressure is recorded as two numbers:<\/span><\/p>\n

      <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      \n

      Top Number<\/h3>\n

      This number represents your systolic blood pressure, which is the pressure of your blood pushing against your artery walls during heartbeats.<\/span><\/p>\n

        <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        \n
        \n

        Bottom Number<\/h3>\n

        This number is the pressure of your blood when your heart is resting between beats.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Normal blood pressure is under 120\/80 mm Hg. Generally, you have high blood pressure if the top number is 130-139 or higher at two or more readings.<\/span><\/p>\n

          <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
          \n
          \n

          How is high blood pressure treated?<\/h3>\n

          Managing high blood pressure begins with making healthy changes to your diet and lifestyle. This doesn\u2019t need to be hard. You can take simple steps, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Quitting smoking<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Managing stress<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Avoiding too much salt<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Getting regular physical activity<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Eating a healthy, balanced diet<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Cutting back on alcoholic beverages<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Maintaining a healthy weight<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            At Dominion Family Health, your doctor works with you to explore all avenues of treatment. Along with making lifestyle changes, prescription medications can improve your quality of life and lower your chances of high blood pressure-related conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and more. Your doctor at Dominion Family Healthcare will discuss whether you might benefit from taking a medication.<\/span><\/p>\n
