High blood pressure, or hypertension, can have a big impact on your health in a lot of different ways. But with the right care and a few lifestyle changes, you or your loved one can still enjoy a healthy, happy life. 

That’s why we’ve developed a service tailored specifically for those living with high blood pressure. Our focus is on helping you take control of your condition, easing the strain, and supporting you in living a life that feels balanced, secure, and fulfilling.

What is hypertension/high blood pressure?

Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of blood pressing against your arteries is consistently too high. Over time, this increased pressure can damage the walls of your arteries, making it harder for your heart to pump blood efficiently. The risks of unmanaged hypertension include heart attacks, strokes, and even conditions like vascular dementia.

The difficulty with hypertension is that it often shows no signs until it reaches a more dangerous stage. Common high blood pressure symptoms to watch out for include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Ringing in the ears
  • Nosebleeds
  • Irregular heartbeat

If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to see your doctor for a blood pressure check and follow their advice on managing the condition.
