Can i reduce or prevent hypertension?. Yes you can 100% do that.
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a preventable condition that could get worse if not treated or left uncontrolled. To control or treat any condition, one must first diagnose that condition.   Â
Diagnosing hyper is as simple as it can be. It requires taking blood pressure readings as part of a routine visit to the doctor. A single blood pressure cannot be used to determine if one is hypertensive or not.
A regular checkup or reading within 2 weeks or more is required to allow the doctor or medical personnel to understand the blood pressure as it varies from one person to another.
So, when you visit a doctor in your next appointment; endeavor to get a blood pressure check/reading. Itâs easy, simple, and painless.
Symptoms of Hyper/High Blood Pressure

However, symptoms of severe hyper may include:
- Headaches
- Shortness of breath
- Nosebleeds
- Flushing
- Dizziness
- Chest pain
- Visual changes
- Blood in the urine
