How to Overcome Hypertension Treatment Fatigue 

Maria Alicia Carrillo Sepulveda, Ph.D., B.S.N., associate professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, shared her expertise with Everyday Health  in a story about hypertension treatment fatigue. Many patients feel overwhelmed with frequent blood pressure readings and managing multiple medications. Sepulveda offers simple tips to avoid feeling hypertension treatment fatigue.

“Checking your blood pressure should be a short, planned routine, not a constant worry,” Sepulveda says. Once you’ve taken and recorded your planned readings, close the log unless your care team’s action plan calls for another step. For instance, if your blood pressure is high and you have symptoms of chest pain, call 911 right away.
