Yet the potential for trouble remains. Non pharmacological measures or changes in lifestyle may be enough to control mild hypertension. But the most important thing is the awareness and monitoring. The lifestyle changes like controlling of body weight, salt restriction, cessation of smoking, no alcohol intake or taking in moderation, regular physical exercise, relaxation techniques and general management of stress can be helpful either in postponing or decreasing the requirement of drug therapy. There are very effective, safe and reasonably priced medicines available for the control of blood pressure.
Nobody needs to suffer from the consequences of hypertension any more.
The causes of secondary hypertension, as mentioned above, need detailed investigation for its diagnosis and management. But, blissfully, the number of these cases is very few. High blood pressure is relatively silent in the beginning but makes very loud noises later on. All we need is a certain degree of will and discipline. Do a death-defying act today.
