What Is Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)?

Hypertension means the pressure of blood against your artery walls is consistently too high. This puts extra strain on your heart and can damage blood vessels over time. A diagnosis is usually made when your average blood pressure is over 140/90 mmHg across two or more readings.

Understanding High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, which is why regular monitoring is key. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems like heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, or eye damage.

The good news: With the right mix of medication and healthy lifestyle changes, you can manage your blood pressure effectively. Your iVisitDoc provider will work with you to find the treatment that fits your health needs, though it may take time to find the best combination.

Common Medications for high blood pressure

Your iVisitDoc provider will review your symptoms and medical history to determine which (if any) dandruff treatment is right for you. If medication is prescribed, it can be sent to any pharmacy you choose for pickup or delivery.

The cost of prescribed treatments may be covered by your health insurance, depending on your plan.

About Blood Pressure

A normal blood pressure reading is below 120/80 mm Hg.

  • Elevated: 120–129 systolic and less than 80 diastolic.

  • High (Stage 1): 130–139 systolic or 80–89 diastolic.

  • High (Stage 2): 140/90 mm Hg or higher.
    Persistent high readings should be discussed with a healthcare provider.

Common causes include genetics, excess salt intake, obesity, stress, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol use, and chronic conditions such as kidney disease or diabetes. Sometimes, high blood pressure develops without a clear cause (essential hypertension).

  • Use a validated automatic upper-arm cuff.

  • Sit quietly for 5 minutes before measuring.

  • Rest your arm on a flat surface at heart level.

  • Take two readings, 1 minute apart, and record the average.

If you’re newly diagnosed or adjusting medications, check twice daily (morning and evening) for one week. Once stabilized, measure a few times per week or as advised by your provider. Avoid measuring immediately after caffeine, smoking, or exercise.

  • Follow the DASH diet: rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy.

  • Reduce salt intake to under 1,500–2,300 mg per day.

  • Exercise regularly (150 minutes/week).

  • Maintain a healthy weight, limit alcohol, and avoid smoking.

Untreated hypertension increases your risk for heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and vision loss. Even mild hypertension, if persistent, can cause long-term harm to blood vessels and organs.
