Key points
- Hypertension is persistently raised pressure in the arteries and usually causes no symptoms at all, which is why it can go unnoticed for years.
- A blood pressure reading has two numbers because it is really two forces: the push as the heart pumps blood out, and the pressure that remains as it rests between beats.
- Sustained high pressure can damage the artery walls, and the repair process lays down plaque that narrows the vessel and pushes pressure higher still.
- Left untreated, it can lead to heart attack and stroke, which is why finding and treating it matters.
Medicines listed for Hypertension
The products listed for hypertension come from several medicine classes, including diuretics, calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers and beta blockers. Diuretics containing Hydrochlorothiazide work by helping the kidneys clear excess salt and fluid, while calcium channel blockers containing Amlodipine relax the walls of the blood vessels. Both approaches aim to ease blood pressure, though each works through a different route.
