Have you been told that you have hypertension (high blood pressure)? For whatever reason, you are resistant to take blood pressure medication, and you prefer to watch and wait. You want to understand your treatment options thoroughly before starting medication.
Were you told that you have elevated blood pressure, and you need to make lifestyle modifications? You don’t know exactly what to do or where to start?
Are you on medications that do not work to control your high blood pressure? When you are in the doctor’s office, your blood pressure is uncontrolled. However, you do not want to add any more pills.
Do you want to know the scoop about trending health topics so you could have a conversation with your health care provider to select the best treatment options for you?
Then you are in the right place.
What I have found out over the last 10 years of hypertension research and clinical training is that, overall, we have failed at healthy literacy. There are certain things everybody ought to know about high blood pressure and its management. However, this essential information is likely not being taught in most clinical settings mostly due to the lack of time. The average health care provider is allowed about 8 minutes for your office visit.
So you are ready. You heard that some people are able to work with their doctor to get off of blood pressure medication or reduce the number of pills required and keep control of their blood pressure. Well, this is really possible, and I have seen both scenarios over and over again. I’m Dr. Tonya, and I believe I can help you get to your goal. I am a clinical scientist, hypertension coach, and advanced registered nurse. After about ten years of conducting hypertension research, I realized some fascinating conclusions about high blood pressure. I will share my findings with you as well as other information. I do this so you can get good blood pressure control and delay being put on blood pressure medication, avoid an increase in medication, or for you if you are looking to get off of blood pressure medication. I will provide you with evidence-based knowledge, training, resources, and support to empower you to get control of your blood pressure so you can live the life you want to live without high blood pressure.
For example, everybody ought to know their target blood pressure goal. Ask your health care provider what’s yours. Everybody also ought to know how to measure their blood pressure at home and log their blood pressure measurements for their health care provider’s review. These are the first three steps you must know to control your blood pressure.
I will teach you what everybody ought to know about hypertension and give you information about trending health topics. You will learn what to do, and I hope to inspire you to do what matters to control your blood pressure.
