5:42 pm	The reality regarding Medications Used to Treat High Blood Pressure - Hypertension Normal blood pressure includes a systolic reading of under 120 and a diastolic of less than 80. (Though normal can differ from person to person. Ask your doctor or any other health care professional what's normal for you personally). Hypertension is really a systolic reading of 140 Or even more or perhaps a diastolic reading of 90 or even more. doxazosin side effects Management of hypertension includes: o Slimming down (even just some weight might help) o Exercise o Diet changes o Medications There are currently eight kinds of medications accustomed to treat hypertension (hypertension). 1. Central acting medications - these directly affect your central nervous system to reduce nerve signals that cause your arteries to constrict. Example - clonidine. 2. Diuretics - they are better known as "water pills". These help the body eliminate excess water within your body by urinating it out. Examples - Furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide. 3. Direct vasodilators - relax the blood vessel walls' muscles - thus dilating them. Examples - minoxidil and hydralazine 4. Angiotensin - converting enzyme inhibitors - these remain from creating a hormone that triggers the arteries to constrict. Examples - lisinopril, quinapril, and benazepril (and other medications with the ending from the word = ...pril) 5. Beta - blockers - these slow the heart rate. This will cause less force to be exerted in your circulation system walls and reduces blood pressure. These include - atenolol, propranolol, and carvedilol (along with other medications using the ending of the word = ....olol 6. Angiotensin II receptor blockers - these protects your body from a hormone that causes the blood vessels to constrict. Examples - irbesartan, candesartan, and olmesartan (along with other medications with ending of the word = .....sartan). amiodarone side effects 7. Calcium channel blockers - these keep the arteries from constricting by continuing to keep calcium from entering your body's cells. Examples - diltiazem, felodipine, nicardipine, and verapamil. 8. Alpha blockers - these help relax blood vessels by reduction of nerve signals. Examples - doxazosin, terazosin, and prazosin (and other medications using the ending of the word = ....zosin). Should you receive a new prescription from your doctor - ensure that you go ahead and take medication as prescribed. (Comment on this)
