Hypertension Support

What you may experience

• Often no symptoms at all
• Headaches in some cases
• Readings consistently above target

Lifestyle factors that may contribute

These are common contributors, not a diagnosis. Which apply to you — and whether something else is going on — is what the assessment establishes.

• High salt intake
• Excess weight
• Sedentary routine
• Sustained stress
• Poor sleep
• Alcohol

When an assessment helps

Most people manage this on their own for a long time before asking anyone. An assessment is worth booking when any of these are true.

• It has lasted more than a few weeks, or keeps returning
• It is changing what you do — how you sit, sleep, work or exercise
• You have tried the obvious things and they have not held
• You are not sure whether it is serious, and would rather someone looked

An assessment is not a commitment to treatment. If we cannot help, we say so and you pay for the assessment only.

How we approach it

Salt and weight are the two highest-yield changes, supported by breathing practice which has a measurable effect on blood pressure. We record readings each visit so your physician can see the trend.
