Diagnosis and Monitoring:

Samin Health and Wellness provides the necessary care for patients suffering from hypertension. Their diagnosis includes measuring blood pressure, usually with a cuff, over a period in order to obtain more than one reading.

Managing Hypertension:

The focus on lifestyle changes is the centerpiece in managing hypertension, along with medications when needed. These include:

• Dietary Adjustments: Switch to the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet or a heart-healthy one.
• Regular Exercise: At least 30 minutes every day of moderate activities is recommended.
