Treatment for High Blood Pressure. We may use one approach or a combination to treat hypertension, including:. Medication For some people, lifestyle changes alone are not enough to lower blood pressure. Medications to treat hypertension include: Angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE inhibitors: The hormone angiotensin narrows blood vessels.
ACE inhibitors prevent angiotensin from forming, thus relaxing the blood vessels. Angiotensin II receptor blockers ARBs : These drugs block the action of the hormone angiotensin to relax blood vessels.
Beta blockers: This medication helps your heart beat slower and with less force by limiting the hormone adrenaline. Calcium channel blockers: These drugs block calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessel muscles, which helps them relax.
Diuretics water pills : These pills flush excess water and salt from your body, decreasing the amount of fluid pumping through your arteries. Renin inhibitors: Your kidneys produce an enzyme called renin, which begins a chemical process that gradually increases blood pressure.
These drugs slow renin production and the chemical process. Renal denervation Renal denervation targets nerves near the kidneys that regulate blood pressure. Lifestyle modification Often the first step in treating hypertension is to build healthy lifestyle habits. They help you make small changes in your daily life that can reduce blood pressure, including: Losing weight and exercising Stopping smoking Reducing stress and improving sleep Limiting alcohol and salt Your care providers support you in this process with in-person meetings or follow-ups by phone.
