Hypertension
Hypertension is a major risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases such as strokes, coronary heart disease, cardiac failure, and end stage renal disease. According to the world health organisation, Hypertension is a major cause of premature death worldwide.
Therefore, prevention of hypertension becomes an important goal in overall efforts to control blood pressure and reduce the incidence of hypertension-related cardiovascular and renal complications and poor outcomes.
An estimated 46% percent of adults with hypertension are unaware that they have the condition and less than half of 42% diagnosed adults are diagnosed and treated (WHO). A number of studies have demonstrated that interventions aimed at changing these modifiable factors might decrease blood pressure and even prevent the development of hypertension.
At City Med Care we want to help you make the lifestyle changes and provide you the necessary support to prevent and control hypertension and help you lead a healthier life. We offer the latest technological ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. This method is used to measure your blood pressure on a continuous basis for 24 hours. Your blood pressure is measured even as you sleep. The ongoing data helps us get a more accurate picture of your blood pressure numbers. The results can confirm a high blood pressure diagnosis and guide treatment.
Checking your blood pressure is the best way to know if you have high blood pressure. If hypertension isn’t treated, it can cause other health conditions like kidney disease, heart disease and stroke.
People with very high blood pressure can experience symptoms including:
- Severe headaches
- Chest pain
- Dizziness
- Difficulty breathing
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Blurred vision or other vision changes
- Anxiety
- Confusion
- Buzzing in the ears
- Nosebleeds

Looking for professional hypertension management in Gibraltar? CityMed Care offers comprehensive blood pressure monitoring, screening, and ongoing guidance delivered by experienced nursing practitioners in a relaxed, confidential environment.
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, often presents no noticeable symptoms, earning it the reputation of a "silent" condition. Regular screening and proactive monitoring are vital to managing blood pressure levels and preventing long-term cardiovascular complications.
Why Is Hypertension Screening Important?
Uncontrolled high blood pressure puts continuous strain on your heart and blood vessels. Timely detection and regular monitoring help reduce the risk of serious health issues, including:
- Heart disease, heart attacks, and heart failure
- Strokes and transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs)
- Kidney damage and impaired renal function
- Vascular complications and circulation issues
By detecting elevated readings early, our clinical team can work alongside you to implement effective lifestyle adjustments and healthcare support to maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
