Hypertension Treatment
Hypertension Treatment Services for Safe, Lasting Blood Pressure Control
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is common—and highly treatable. With a clear plan, you can lower your numbers, protect your heart and brain, and feel steadier day to day.
At Mind Shape Clinic, we pair medical care with home blood pressure monitoring, DASH-style nutrition coaching, and regular follow-ups. As a result, you get safer blood pressure and fewer worries.
What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension means the pressure in your arteries is consistently too high. Over time, that extra force can injure vessels and strain the heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain. The upside? Blood pressure responds quickly to the right mix of everyday changes and targeted medication. When we lower your average readings, we lower your risk—starting now.
Types and Common Causes of Hypertension
Most Hypertension is primary, meaning it builds slowly over time due to genes, salt intake, stress, and low activity. Sometimes it’s secondary, caused by conditions such as kidney disease or sleep apnea—or by medicines like decongestants, steroids, or some birth-control pills.
Primary (essential) Hypertension
- The most common type.
- Develops gradually due to genetics, age, diet, sleep, stress, and activity level.
Secondary Hypertension
- Caused by another condition or drug.
- Examples include kidney disease, thyroid issues, sleep apnea, Cushing’s, steroids, decongestants, some birth-control methods, stimulants, and heavy alcohol.
Factors we see often
- High sodium, low potassium, and ultra-processed foods.
- Inactivity and poor sleep.
- Tobacco and excess alcohol.
- Diabetes, high cholesterol, and weight gain.
How Hypertension Shows Up in Daily Life
Even without symptoms, Hypertension can affect:
Energy & focus: fatigue, headaches, “wired but tired.”
Sleep quality: frequent waking; unrecognized sleep apnea.
Stamina: shortness of breath or reduced exercise tolerance.
Long-term health: higher risk of stroke, heart attack, kidney disease, and vision changes.
Our Hypertension Care Pathway (Step by Step)
Our Hypertension care pathway guides you from the first visit to long-term control—home BP setup, labs as needed, clear medication steps, nutrition coaching, and quick follow-ups—so your numbers come down safely and stay there
1) First Visit (Week 0)
History, medication review, and risk screening.
Decide on a home BP cuff (validated upper-arm, correct size).
Teach a two-minute BP routine (see below).
Order focused labs as needed (BMP/eGFR, electrolytes, A1C/glucose, lipids; thyroid when indicated).
Set your personalized BP goal.
2) Home Monitoring (Weeks 1–2)
Morning and evening readings for 7 days.
If needed, start a first-line medication Today.
Our team is available for a quick call in case of an emergency. (In opening hours)
3) First Adjustment (Week 2–4)
Review averages and side effects.
Titrate dose or add a second agent if still above goal.
Begin DASH swaps and movement plan you can keep.
4) Control Phase (Weeks 4–12)
Follow up every 4–6 weeks until you’re <goal.
Keep the home BP routine two or three days per week.
5) Maintenance (After Control)
Quarterly or semiannual visits.
Annual lab review and cuff re-check.
Relapse plan for holidays, travel, or new meds.
Your Two-Minute Home BP Routine (Accuracy = Results)
Your two-minute home BP routine with Dr. Khan’s advice ensures accuracy that helps in treatment.
—Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and exercise for 30 minutes.
—Sit with feet flat, back supported, arm at heart level.
—Rest 5 minutes in that position.
—Take two readings, one minute apart—morning and evening for 7 days before a visit.
—Log all numbers; we calculate the average and adjust your plan.
Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching (DASH, but practical)
Restoring balance to your hormones offers numerous health benefits, including:
DASH made simple
- Build plates with vegetables, fruit, beans, nuts, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Aim for ~1,500–2,000 mg sodium/day if appropriate for you.
- Swap: canned soup → low-sodium broth + herbs; deli meats → roasted chicken; chips → unsalted nuts + fruit.
- Add potassium-rich foods (bananas, beans, leafy greens) unless you have kidney disease.
Movement you can maintain
- 150 minutes/week of moderate cardio.
- 2+ days/week of strength training.
- Ten-minute walk after meals to blunt post-meal spikes.
Sleep & stress
- Screen for sleep apnea if snoring or daytime sleepiness.
- Micro-breaks: 60-second breathing, stretching, or a short walk—often, many small resets beat one long session.
Hypertension Medications We Commonly Use (Personalized)
We choose based on your numbers, kidney function, age, race/ethnicity, and other conditions:
- Thiazide diuretics (e.g., chlorthalidone, HCTZ)
- ACE inhibitors (e.g., lisinopril) or ARBs (e.g., losartan)
- Calcium channel blockers (e.g., amlodipine)
- Beta blockers (e.g., metoprolol) when there’s another heart indication
- Combination therapy when one drug isn’t enough
Why Our Follow-Up Works
Our follow-ups ensure your progress is tracked, treatment stays effective, and you get lasting results.
- Fast iterations: visits every 4–6 weeks until control.
- Messaging access: ask questions between visits.
- Data-driven: we change the plan based on your home averages, not guesswork.
- Whole-person: meds + food + movement + sleep + stress.
