High blood pressure symptoms - High blood pressure treatment
I read in the papers today - world kidney day - that not looking after your blood pressure can damage the kidneys.
How does this work?
Why does high blood pressure harm your kidneys. My friend developed kidney problems due to taking blood pressure treatment tablets - so which is worse, taking blood pressure treatment or simply having high blood pressure.
I know that diabetic people get kidney disease but is it really true that just because I have high blood pressure I should worry about kidney problems too?
Getting confused by all of this ….

Welcome to The Pressure Point.
My name is Doctor Gordon Cameron and I'm a doctor based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I specialize in blood pressure treatment for two reasons:
Firstly - I see many thousands of people with the condition each year and I understand the problems that high blood pressure and its treatment can cause.
Secondly, I suffer from raised BP myself and take treatment every day so I really do understand the problems from both sides of the equation. I've taken pretty much every medication on the market at one time or other, and have used or tried most of the natural remedies and cures.
Join me as we share blood pressure experiences and find a way to keep you healthy and well.
