High blood pressure treatment
If blood pressure is not controlled, it can lead to serious health problems. These include heart disease, heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and blindness. If your blood pressure is too high, work with your physician on the medical staff at Baylor Scott & White Health on a plan to lower it.
Treatment plans for patients will be determined by their care team based on age, medical history, type and stage of high blood pressure and personal preferences. Options may include:
- Lifestyle changes – eat heart-healthy foods, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, stop smoking, limit alcohol and control stress
- Medication
