High BP is a complex condition that is serious risk for stroke, heart attack and a number of other less dramatic illnesses, such as impairment of brain function and dementia, that may not only reduce life expectancy but may seriously affect the quality of our lives as we grow older.

High BP can only be diagnosed by measuring BP but much to many peoples surprise this is not as straightforward as many patients (and doctors) believe. Professor OBrien has pioneered the technique for measuring BP during the day and night and he discusses the variations that may affect diagnosis, such as white coat hypertension.

High BP affects different people in different ways. For example young people with high blood pressure need different tests and treatment than older people, and women need to be managed differently to men, especially in pregnancy. Professor OBrien answers questions addressed to these different groups.

Blood Pressure Expert answers over 400 questions but you may have questions that are not answered and this application will be developed to cater for all your questions in future up-dates. So feel free to ask whatever questions you may wish to ask on high BP and its complications.
