Managing Hypertension in the Elderly: A Caregiver's Guide

The Silent Killer in Seniors

Hypertension often has no symptoms until it causes a severe event like a stroke or heart attack. Regular monitoring is crucial for elderly patients.

Home Monitoring Protocols

Use a reliable digital BP monitor. Take readings at the same time every day, ideally in a seated, rested position. Keep a precise log for your doctor.

Dietary Management

Strictly limit sodium intake (salt). Emphasize potassium-rich foods like bananas and spinach, provided there are no underlying kidney issues.
