Hypertension Treatment Options – Medications, Diet & Lifestyle Plans | Kingman, AZ
At Northern Arizona Medical Group (NAMG), we help you manage high blood pressure through a comprehensive, evidence-based approach. From medication to nutrition and exercise, our hypertension treatment plans are designed to protect your heart and improve your quality of life.
🩺 Personalized Treatment Plans
No two patients are alike — and neither is high blood pressure. That’s why we create personalized hypertension treatment plans tailored to your age, health history, lifestyle, and risk factors.
Our goal is not just to lower your numbers but to support your long-term heart health through a combination of:
-
Medical therapy
-
Lifestyle modification
-
Ongoing monitoring
-
Education and support
💊 Medication Overview
In many cases, managing hypertension requires prescription medication. Our experienced providers prescribe and monitor the most effective options, which may include:
-
ACE Inhibitors – Help relax blood vessels (e.g., lisinopril)
-
Diuretics – Help your body eliminate excess sodium and water
-
Beta-blockers – Reduce heart rate and workload on your heart
-
Calcium channel blockers – Prevent calcium from entering heart cells
-
ARBs – Block effects of a hormone that raises BP (e.g., losartan)
We carefully monitor your response to medications and adjust as needed to minimize side effects and ensure effectiveness.
🥗 DASH Diet Overview
Nutrition plays a vital role in managing high blood pressure. We recommend and educate patients on the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension), a proven method for lowering BP naturally.
The DASH diet emphasizes:
-
Fresh fruits and vegetables
-
Whole grains
-
Low-fat dairy
-
Lean protein (fish, poultry, legumes)
-
Reducing sodium and added sugars
Our team provides meal planning tips, grocery guides, and support to make healthy eating easier for your lifestyle in Kingman.
🏃 Exercise Guidelines for Hypertension
Physical activity is one of the most powerful natural ways to lower blood pressure. We recommend:
-
30 minutes of moderate activity (walking, biking, swimming) on most days
-
Light strength training 2–3 times a week
-
Stretching and balance exercises for older adults
Our team can help you create a safe and sustainable fitness plan, even if you’re just starting out.
😌 Stress Reduction Techniques
Chronic stress contributes to high blood pressure. At NAMG, we help patients manage mental health as part of a full-body approach to care.
We may recommend:
-
Mindfulness and meditation techniques
-
Breathing exercises
-
Sleep improvement strategies
-
Support groups or counseling referrals
Managing your stress helps manage your blood pressure — and improves your overall well-being.
