Hypertension (consistently elevated blood pressure above 130/80 mmHg) develops gradually as resistance to blood flow increases, forcing the heart to work harder. Often called the "silent killer," it typically causes no symptoms while steadily damaging blood vessels, heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes. Risk factors include age, family history, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, high sodium intake, excessive alcohol, and certain chronic conditions. Travel can impact blood pressure through stress, dietary changes, medication disruptions, and altered sleep patterns. Regular monitoring is essential, especially during travel, as untreated hypertension increases risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, vision loss, sexual dysfunction, and memory problems. Diagnosis requires multiple readings over time, not just one elevated measurement. Treatment typically begins with lifestyle modifications (reduced sodium, DASH diet, regular exercise, stress management) and progresses to medications if necessary, including diuretics, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, calcium channel blockers, and beta-blockers. Mexican cardiologists can provide thorough evaluations and prescription adjustments, often at lower costs than US care, with many medications available without prescription at substantial savings.
