Although the number of people with hypertension is increasing, the correct understanding of the disease and how to care for people with hypertension is still limited. Because it is a chronic disease, people with hypertension need proper care, regular monitoring, and long-term treatment to keep blood pressure stable and limit dangerous complications.

Many questions about taking care of relatives (grandparents/parents) in the hypertensive family that Cardiologists regularly receive:

  • How much is blood pressure considered high blood pressure?
  • Are headaches a symptom of high blood pressure?
  • Do I need to continue taking my blood pressure medication if my blood pressure is already normal?
  • Is long-term blood pressure medication harmful to liver damage kidneys?
  • What time of day should the medication be taken, and why not maintain a long-term blood pressure medication that changes regularly?
