Fact: Your Blood Pressure "Profile" Matters More Than a Single Reading:
Recent research emphasises that having consistently elevated blood pressure, even just during the night or in specific situations, is a major hidden risk.

This is often linked to a phenomenon called "non-dipping," where a person's blood pressure fails to drop by at least 10% during sleep. This puts constant, 24/7 strain on the heart, brain, and kidneys.

It can be caused by sleep apnoea, high salt sensitivity, chronic kidney disease, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

This can be measured with a 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring or ABPM. This is a small, portable device you wear for a full day and night to provide a complete picture of your blood pressure "profile," allowing better diagnosis and treatment.


Fact: The Immune System is a Surprising, Newly Discovered Culprit:
Chronic, low-grade inflammation driven by your own immune system is now recognised as a key driver of stubborn high blood pressure, damaging blood vessels from the inside out.

While there isn't an "immune-suppressing blood pressure pill" yet, this discovery validates the power of lifestyle interventions like diet rich in fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy and regular exercise, as they have potent natural anti-inflammatory effects that directly counter this newly understood cause.
