Hypertension

We Are With You in the Fight Against High Blood Pressure
Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure is above normal levels and can lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Ento Surgical Medical Center works with you to protect your health by offering the most effective methods in hypertension treatment.

What is Hypertension?
Hypertension is a condition in which the pressure in the blood vessels is constantly high. This creates an extra burden on your heart and veins and can lead to complications such as heart disease, kidney problems, vision loss, and cerebral palsy over time.

Causes of Hypertension:
- Genetic factors: The risk of hypertension is higher in people with a family history of high blood pressure.
- High salt consumption: Consuming excessively salty foods can increase blood pressure.
- Physical inactivity: Not exercising regularly can increase the risk of hypertension.
- Obesity: Excessive weight can negatively affect blood pressure.
- Smoking and alcohol use: Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption increase the risk of hypertension.
- Stress and psychological factors: Being under constant stress can cause blood pressure to remain high.
- Age: The risk of hypertension increases with age.

Symptoms of Hypertension:
Hypertension usually does not cause any obvious symptoms, but some people may experience the following complaints:
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision in the eyes

Health Effects of Hypertension:
- Heart diseases: Hypertension can cause heart attack, heart failure and vascular diseases.
- Stroke: High blood pressure causes weakening of the cerebral vessels, increasing the risk of stroke.
- Kidney diseases: Hypertension can impair kidney function and lead to kidney failure.
- Eye problems: High blood pressure can affect the eye vessels, leading to vision loss.
- Arterial aneurysm: Hypertension can cause the vessels to widen and weaken, leading to ruptures.

Hypertension Treatment Methods: Ento Surgical Medical Center uses modern methods and personalized approaches in the treatment of hypertension. The treatment process may include:
- Diet and Nutrition: Limiting sodium intake, following a healthy diet, and maintaining weight control can help keep hypertension under control.
- Physical Activity: Regular exercise can help lower blood pressure. At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week is recommended.
- Drug Therapy: Various medications can be used to control hypertension. These are usually medications that dilate blood vessels or reduce the heart's workload.
- Stress Management: Stress levels can be reduced with yoga, meditation or breathing exercises, which can help balance blood pressure.
