There are a diverse range of medications available for hypertension, and you may need to take more than one type as a combination is sometimes required to effectively treat high blood pressure.
High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is not a disease but a key preventable risk factor associated with serious conditions such as heart failure and stroke. Hypertension is common in the UK, with at least one quarter of adults experiencing high blood pressure (>50% in those over 60).
There are two types of hypertension – primary and secondary. Primary hypertension is the predominant type (95%) and although it is defined as having no identifiable cause, there are factors that can increase the likelihood of hypertension developing. These include: age, family history of high blood pressure, high salt intake, inadequate amount of exercise, obesity, smoking and high alcohol consumption. Secondary hypertension (5% of people) is the result of a known cause that has been identified, for example kidney disease and diabetes.
Blood pressure medication is designed to reduce your blood pressure by expanding the blood vessels in your body. By doing this it lowers the force at which your blood requires to travel through these vessels, and as a result reduces the pressure.
