Overview

High blood pressure, sometimes known as hypertension, is a long-term medical disease characterized by excessive artery blood pressure. There are two measurements of blood pressure: systolic, which is the top reading, and diastolic, which is the bottom reading. Normal blood pressure at rest lies between 100-140 mmHg for systolic (top) and 60-90 mmHg for diastolic. It is considered to have high blood pressure when it is often at or above 140/90 mmHg.

The Hypertension clinic at Tender Palm has a team of medical doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals specifically trained and experienced in the management of hypertension, through which best practices are shared among each other to take care and treat patients comprehensively. Specialized services the clinic offers include monitoring blood pressure, conducting blood tests, and medicine management.

The Hypertension clinic at Tender Palm is usually offered on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can seek treatment without being admitted to the hospital. This way, patients are accorded their much-needed care while they are able to carry on with their activities during the day.

Our Condition & Treatment Services:

Many people with high blood pressure can be managed by lifestyle modifications and drugs, but their condition may necessitate the need to be admitted to a hypertension clinic. Some of the conditions that will require a referral to a hypertension clinic include;

Resistant hypertension: Where the blood pressure fails to respond to the attempts of multiple antihypertensive drugs; a hypertension clinic may be able to manage this condition.
Secondary hypertension: Underlying medical conditions, like kidney disease and hormonal imbalances, may require more evaluation and treatment at a hypertension clinic if the cause of high blood pressure is an underlying medical condition.
Hypertensive crisis: In cases of severely elevated blood pressure (hypertensive crisis), immediate medical attention is sometimes necessary to avoid serious complications. A hypertension clinic can offer specialized care for this condition.
Hypertension in pregnancy: Some women will develop high blood pressure during pregnancy, which may increase the risks for mother and baby. A Hypertension Clinic offers specialized care for managing hypertension in pregnancy.
Co-existing medical conditions: Individuals with hypertension who also have other medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease or kidney disease might require specialized care of such conditions together in a hypertension clinic.
