If diagnosed with hypertension, don’t worry! You will be advised on diet, exercise and medications to keep it controlled. Don’t be deceived to stop your medications as that will increase your risk of complications #thekidneyspecialistcentre #kidneyhealthinternational #CheckUrBP

If you are told you have hypertension, please see your doctor to ensure it’s always < 140/90 or better still ~ 120/80. This will largely prevent all the complications. Unfortunately, most people diagnosed with hypertension still have high blood pressures. #HypertensionMonth

Don’t be quick to resort to herbal medications when you experience any side effects to your blood pressure medications. Rather speak to your doctor to consider valuable alternatives. Remember, high blood pressure is a killer! #kidneyhealthinternational #HypertensionMonth
