What Are the Types of Hypertension?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a medical condition where the force of blood against the arterial walls is excessive or consistently too high. Its symptoms can include chronic dizziness, lightheadedness, and shortness of breath. The two types of hypertension are:

  • Primary Hypertension: This type develops over time due to genetics, lifestyle habits, and aging.
  • Secondary Hypertension: Secondary is caused by an underlying condition, like kidney disease.

How We Treat Hypertension

There are various ways to treat and mitigate the effects of hypertension based on the condition’s severity. Our treatment approaches include the following:

Lifestyle Changes

Healthy lifestyle changes are an essential component of alleviating hypertension. These can include alterations to diet and exercise, or metabolism and weight management.

Medication Management

If lifestyle changes aren't enough, we may recommend doctors who can prescribe medications to help control or reduce high blood pressure.

Treat Underlying Conditions

For secondary hypertension, we'll likely recommend treatment for the underlying condition. These conditions can include kidney disease or hormone disorders.
