Our expert staff at Eye Pharmacy will take care of your blood pressure testing to ensure you get an accurate reading and can better understand what dietary and physical habits need to change to have your blood pressure at a healthy level.
Healthy adults aged over 40 should have their blood pressure checked at least once every five years. If you are at an increased risk of high blood pressure, you should have your blood pressure checked more often than this – ideally, once a year. In over 90% of cases, the cause of high blood pressure is unknown but several factors can increase your risk of developing the condition. Where there is no specific cause, high blood pressure is referred to by doctors as primary high blood pressure (or essential high blood pressure). Factors that can raise your risk of developing primary high blood pressure include:
• Age - the risk of developing high blood pressure increases as you get older
• A family history of high blood pressure (the condition seems to run in families)
• Being of African or Caribbean origin
• A high amount of salt in your food
• A lack of exercise
• Being overweight
• Smoking
• Drinking large amounts of alcohol
• Stress
About 10% of high blood pressure cases are the result of an underlying condition or cause. These cases are referred to as secondary high blood pressure. Common causes of secondary high blood pressure include:
• Kidney disease
• Diabetes
• Narrowing of the arteries (large blood vessels) supplying the kidneys
• Hormonal conditions, such as Cushing’s syndrome (a condition where your body produces an excess of steroid hormones)
• Conditions that affect the body’s tissue, such as lupus
• Oral contraceptive pill
• Painkillers known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen
• Recreational drugs, such as cocaine, amphetamines and crystal methamphetamine
• Herbal remedies, such as herbal supplements
