High blood pressure, or hypertension, happens when the force in the arteries is too high.
This makes it harder for the heart to pump blood around the body. There may be no signs, but in severe cases, headache, feeling light-headed, feeling sick or throwing up, and nosebleeds can happen.
Treatment for high blood pressure includes diet and exercise, and taking medicine. Common types of drugs given to treat high blood pressure are:
- ACE inhibitors
- ACE inhibitor / calcium channel blocker combinations
- ACE inhibitor / thiazide diuretic combinations
- Aldosterone antagonists
- Aldosterone antagonist / Thiazide diuretic combinations
- ARBs
- ARB / Thiazide diuretic combinations
- ARB / Thiazide-like combinations
- Arteriorlar vasodilators
- Arteriolar vasodilator / Thiazide diuretic combinations
- Beta agonist / Thiazide diuretic combinations
- Beta blockers
- Calcium channel blockers
- Catecholamine depletors
- Central alpha agonists
- Loop diuretics
- Thiazide diuretics
