Hypertension
Hypertension
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is very common. Hypertension is a condition where your heart forces excess blood against your veins, causing an abnormal amount of pressure. Hypertension does not have immediate side effects but, if left untreated, can cause more serious health problems like heart disease and kidney failure.
There are many steps you can take to lower your blood pressure including eating healthier foods, exercising and taking prescribed medications.
We value treating high blood pressure before the early stages of kidney damage can emerge. By creating a care plan with your doctor at KidneyCare Oklahoma, we can monitor and manage your high blood pressure.
