FAQs

What causes hypertension?

Hypertension can result from various factors including genetics, poor diet, lack of exercise, stress, and certain medical conditions. Sometimes, no clear cause is found, which is called primary hypertension.

How is high blood pressure diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves measuring your blood pressure using a cuff. Multiple readings over time help confirm if you have hypertension, as blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day.

Can lifestyle changes alone manage hypertension?

In many cases, adopting a healthier diet, increasing physical activity, reducing salt intake, and managing stress can significantly lower blood pressure. However, some individuals may still require medication.

What are the risks of untreated hypertension?

Untreated high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, kidney damage, and other serious health problems. Early management is crucial to prevent complications.

How often should I monitor my blood pressure?

Your provider at South Jersey Family Medicine will recommend a monitoring schedule based on your condition. For many, daily or weekly checks at home, combined with periodic office visits, provide the best insight.
