educate you on your diagnosis of hypertension. Now Mr. Patient, I don’t want you to worry because this is something that we can get under control and maintain with both education and medication –both will get you back on the path to a healthy future. I will explain to you exactly what hypertension is, how it’s affecting your body and its ability to stay healthy and the factors that likely caused it.

A few of the main ways you can keep your blood pressure under control include: a salt-reduced diet, maintain a healthy weight, daily exercise, limit coffee and alcohol consumption, smoking cessation (if applicable) and stress management. You will also be receiving various blood pressure medications including diuretics which will help the body get rid of excess sodium and water, beta-blockers which reduce the heart rate, ACE inhibitors which help the blood vessels relax and open up and possible other medications that will aide in the lowering of your high blood pressure. Mr. Patient, I believe this sums everything up that you need to know to be able to control your blood pressure and reduce your risk for related health problems. Please make sure that you continue with your ongoing medical care and follow the treatment plans I have given you here today. We’ll see you again in 30 days for your follow up appointment.
