Expert Evaluation and Care for High Blood Pressure Treatment
High blood pressure or hypertension is a common condition. According to CDC.gov, nearly half of adults have high blood pressure, which means systolic BP is over 130mmHg or diastolic is greater than 80mmHg. High blood pressure damages your arteries over time and can lead to serious complications like kidney disease, heart attack, and stroke.
In the vast majority of cases, the exact cause of the hypertension is unknown. Several risk factors can increase the odds of developing the condition.
Here are the factors that may lead to high blood pressure:
Lifestyle Choices:
- Drinking too much alcohol
- Drugs
- A diet that is high in sodium, saturated fat, or cholesterol
- People with high stress or poor stress management
- Overweight with a lack of regular physical activity
- Chain smoking
Genetics

How Dr. G Medical Solutions Manages Hypertension?
Our specialist for high blood pressure takes a two-pronged approach that includes lifestyle changes and medications. This treatment focuses on managing the condition and reducing the risk of high blood pressure. We recommend treatment based on your blood pressure readings, the causes of your high blood pressure, and the underlying conditions.
Lifestyle Changes to Lower Your Blood Pressure:
Lifestyle changes can play a significant role in reducing blood pressure without medication.
Here is how we naturally help you keep blood pressure under control.
- Keep a weight that’s healthy for you
- Eat a healthy diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and low-fat dairy
- Cut down on salt to no more than 1500 milligrams per day
- Get enough potassium, try to consume 3500 to 5000 milligrams per day.
- Limit alcohol or do so in moderation
- Exercise daily
- Effectively manage stress
In addition, our high blood pressure specialists analyze your lifestyle and prescribe certain changes to reduce high blood pressure.
Medications
When diet and exercise alone don’t lower blood pressure, a medication program is tailored to each patient. A single medicine might not be effective; we recommend a combination of medications to provide the best solutions. Our doctors prescribe the following medications:
- Beta Blockers to lower the heart rate
- Calcium Channel Blockers to relax blood vessels
- Vasodilators for improved blood flow
- ACE Inhibitors to reduce blood pressure
- Diuretics to eliminate excess sodium and fluids
