What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against your artery walls stays elevated over time. Often called the "silent killer" because it usually has no obvious symptoms, hypertension can quietly damage your arteries and organs if left unmanaged, increasing your risk of serious complications, like stroke and heart disease. Hypertension is a common and potentially dangerous condition, but it can be managed with support from Dr. Wilmer Valentin and our skilled team at Houston Metropolitan Medical. Using a personalized approach, we can help you take control of your health and reduce your risk of long-term medical issues. Schedule your consultation and exam at our office in Kingwood, TX to learn more about our approach to hypertension treatment.
How Do You Treat Hypertension?
During your initial consultation, we'll learn more about your medical history, lifestyle, diet, and daily routine. There are many reasons for high blood pressure, including genetics, stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and having too much sodium in your diet. By determining the root cause of your hypertension, we can create a personalized plan to help you transform your health. Treatment for hypertension usually starts with lifestyle changes, which means making adjustments to your eating and exercise habits. For some patients, Dr. Valentin may prescribe medication to help relieve pressure on your blood vessels. We'll meet with you regularly throughout your hypertension treatment to track changes in your health and adjust your plan as needed.
