High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common chronic disease affecting approximately 86 million adults in the US. Medically, high blood pressure is defined when your blood pressure is 140/90 mmHg or higher. There are many different types of antihypertensive medications that can be taken to reduce your blood pressure.
The first number in your blood pressure reading is the systolic pressure. This is the pressure in the arteries when the heart contracts and pumps blood into the arteries. The second number in the reading is the diastolic pressure. This is the pressure in your arteries when the heart muscle rests before the next heartbeat takes place. This is why the pressure is lower. Generally, a blood pressure reading that is 140/90 mmHg of higher is considered high. But there are different ways to classify your blood pressure.
One classification system used in adults is:
Alternatively, the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines divide hypertension into two levels:
High blood pressure can be caused by another disease or by environmental, behavioural and genetic causes.
Primary causes of high blood pressure include:
Primary hypertension, accounts for 90-95% of adult cases of high blood pressure.
High blood pressure can also be caused by the following conditions:
When hypertension is caused by other diseases, it is known as secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension is much less common than primary hypertension. Secondary hypertension accounts for just 2-10% of high blood pressure cases in adults.
Many people have no obvious symptoms of high blood pressure. If an individual does not get their blood pressure checked regularly, symptoms may not occur until high blood pressure has caused damage to an organ.
Some signs and symptoms to look out for are:
High blood pressure is not diagnosed with a one-off blood pressure reading. Your blood pressure can fluctuate naturally, so it must be measured regularly to make an accurate diagnosis. Your doctor may provide you with a home blood pressure monitor for you to use to record your blood pressure yourself.
A diagnosis of high blood pressure is made if your systolic blood pressure is consistently greater than or equal to 130-140 mmHg and your diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90 mmHg or above.
A doctor may also conduct a physical exam and additional blood tests and an ECG to check for an underlying cause of your high blood pressure, which may alter how they approach your treatment. Specifically, they may test for:
Risk factors for high blood pressure include:
High blood pressure also puts you at risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, if you have high blood pressure, it is important to be aware of any other factors that may increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. These factors include:
High blood pressure can be managed by a combination of both lifestyle changes and medications.
Lifestyle changes to reduce high blood pressure include:
Medications that can help high blood pressure are:
Many people will require a combination of more than one high blood pressure medication.
If you have certain pre-existing conditions, your doctor may prescribe you different medications than would be normally used. The conditions and their corresponding high blood pressure medications are outlined below:
Amlodipine Felodipine
Indapamide
Kidney failure is one cause of high blood pressure and hypertension can cause kidney failure.
Heart attacks are usually associated with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and narrowed arteries that lower oxygen supplies to the heart muscle.
High blood pressure is related to strokes, heart attacks, and heart failure, which are the leading causes of death in the U.S. Therefore, high blood pressure can have a significant effect upon your mortality.

Propranolol is one of the 1st generation beta-blockers and has been in use since the 1960s. Initially intended for treating high blood pressure, the drug eventually came to be used for many other purposes, including heart issues, performance anxiety, tremors, and the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. This wide range of medical applications makes Propranolol one of the most frequently prescribed medications in the United States.
Propranolol is a 1st generation beta-blocker that originally was marketed as Inderal but is now available in generic form. Propranolol has been around since the 1960s and today has a wide range of uses. The British scientist, J. W. Black, who first developed propranolol, received the 1988 Nobel Prize in medicine for his work.
Propranolol (generic Inderal) is a beta-blocker available by prescription that is used to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The drug typically can also be used to treat other health conditions, such as heart rhythm problems, heart attack prevention, anxiety, and tremors. Propranolol has been in use for almost sixty years and is one of the first beta-blocker medications. It ranks among the top 100 most prescribed drugs in the US and European markets.
High blood pressure, the technical term is hypertension. High blood pressure is a common long term condition people can experience. It does not usually have noticeable symptoms. If left untreated or uncontrolled it can become dangerous as it increases your chances of certain conditions.
When you exercise, your heart rate increases and can vary depending upon the intensity of the exercise you do. Therefore, it is often more relevant to measure your resting heart rate - the number of times your heart beats while you are completely at rest.
While there are many medications that treat anxiety, many of them can be highly addictive or have unwanted side effects such as drowsiness. This is why many people look for alternatives to the benzodiazepines that are usually prescribed for anxiety. Atenolol, and other beta-blockers are often prescribed as non-addictive medications for anxiety.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with Amlodipine. Amlodipine is broken down by enzymes (CYP3A4) in the lower intestine. People have different levels of these enzymes in their body, so eating grapefruit can affect people differently, even when they both take Amlodipine. Eating grapefruit can block the action of these important enzymes. This causes the drug to stay around for longer, allowing too much Amlodipine to enter your bloodstream. These higher levels of Amlodipine mean stronger effects of the drug and stronger side effects.
Whilst it’s highly effective, Amlodipine also has many side effects. These include dizziness, headaches, swelling and stomach pain. A rare side effect of Amlodipine is weight gain, therefore the risk is low. Many factors that may increase your risk of high blood pressure i.e. high-calorie diet, may contribute to increased weight gain when taking Amlodipine. If you feel Amlodipine is causing you to gain weight, you may want to look into alternative blood pressure medication.
Amlodipine (Norvasc) is prescribed to treat high blood pressure. It does this by opening up the blood vessels to improve your blood flow. However, it can also come with some unpleasant side effects. The most common of these are nausea, headaches, mild swelling and stomach pain. To avoid these side effects, you might be looking for an alternative.
Heart disease is also referred to as coronary artery disease. In the US, heart disease triggers 735,000 heart attacks each year and causes the death of more than 630,000 Americans. 7 million Americans have suffered a heart attack at some point in their life according to the American Heart Association. Heart disease is very common and is known as the silent killer. You must know what factors can contribute to the increased risk of heart disease.
Be honest. Sleeping in on the weekend doesn’t count, we are talking about a regular sleep schedule aligned with your body’s internal clock.
Chronically high blood pressure puts you at risk of developing several diseases and dying early. High blood pressure causes a lot of damage because of the damage done to blood vessels particularly arteries. Healthy blood vessels are essential for every organ to function properly so high blood pressure can potentially damage many organs including your heart, eyes and kidneys.
While Lisinopril is very effective at reducing blood pressure and helping the heart recover from cardiac arrest, it can react poorly when combined with alcohol. Lisinopril works by lowering your blood pressure through a relaxation of your blood vessel muscles. That’s ideal for treating various heart conditions and hypertension, but when you combine it with alcohol, the effects can be disastrous. That is because alcohol lowers your blood pressure as well, so your blood pressure could become dangerously low.
