Treatment for hypertension typically involves a combination of lifestyle changes and medication. Lifestyle modifications such as losing weight, increasing physical activity, reducing salt intake, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption can help lower blood pressure. If lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient, various medications may be prescribed, including diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, and others. The goal is to bring blood pressure below 140/90 mmHg for most people, or lower for those with additional risk factors, according to guidelines from organizations like the American Heart Association (https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/high-blood-pressure).
