An Introduction to Hypertension

Our blood pressure is always changing in response to our physical activity, emotions, age, environment and other factors.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, however, occurs when blood is pumped around the body at a higher than normal pressure over a prolonged period. A reading of systolic pressure over 140 or higher or a diastolic pressure of 80 or higher that stays high over time indicates that you may have hypertension.

In Malaysia, four in ten adults aged ≥ 30 years have hypertension.

Hypertension is a common condition among Malaysians, especially older adults. Five out of ten people are aware of their hypertension status and only one-third of those under treatment achieved control of their hypertension.

It is important to manage our blood pressure well. Having prolonged high blood pressure puts a lot of stress on artery walls and can lead to many health complications, including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, kidney failure and even blindness.

Managing hypertension at home

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help us regulate our blood pressure. Besides regular vital signs monitoring and medication, physical activity can reduce our blood pressure to acceptable levels. Exercising can also help to reduce stress, which is another factor that may increase our blood pressure.

Diet can affect our blood pressure too. Add more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, fish, and nuts to your diet, and cut back on your consumption of sugar, salt, fats and alcohol for a healthier you.

We’re here for you

Learning that you’ll have to take medication for the rest of your life can be a hard pill to swallow. However, it is important to maintain a healthy blood pressure to prevent further health complications.

Our Care Professionals are caregivers, nurses and doctors experienced with caring for individuals with hypertension and can support you from diagnosis, medication refills and reminders, vital signs monitoring, and more. Each of them also undergo training to better understand, support and care for you and your loved one. We understand that different individuals may need different forms of care support. Here are some of the ways our Care Pros can help.

Top questions about Hypertension Care

Service FAQ

What is the main cause of hypertension?

While age, genetics and existing health conditions may play a role in our risk of developing hypertension, many lifestyle factors can lead to high blood pressure too.

Factors that may cause hypertension include:

  • Genetics, especially if your parents or close relatives have high blood pressure
  • Age (our risk of developing hypertension increases with age)
  • Chronic conditions, such as diabetes and high cholesterol
  • Lack of physical activity
  • Obesity
  • Medication
  • Stress
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol consumption

What are the warning signs of hypertension?

Nearly one-third of people with hypertension do not know that they have the condition. Here are some of the symptoms indicating that you may have hypertension:

  • Severe headache
  • Fatigue or confusion
  • Vision problems
  • Dizziness
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Irregular heartbeat
  • Blood in the urine
  • Pounding in your chest, neck, or ears

What are the stages of hypertension?

According to local guidelines, there are 3 classifications for our blood pressure.

Normal blood pressure levels should be lower than 130/80 mmHg.

Those whose blood pressure falls in the range between 130/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg are considered pre-hypertensive and should monitor their blood pressure closely and make necessary lifestyle changes to manage their prehypertension.

If your blood pressure reading is 140/90 mmHg and above, you have hypertension. Do consult a doctor for professional medical advice and next steps.

What our customers say

Help during the pandemic

The team has been sublime to work with albeit having to temporarily halt engaging them for care services due to the pandemic situation now in Malaysia. All teething issues in the initial phase of engagement were swiftly addressed and satisfactorily so. Special shoutout to Shirley from Homage who has been responding promptly to all my queries and requests (and went far and beyond my expectations with her actions in all counts).

Wong Voon Bing
Highly recommended care when I'm away

My father had a fall recently and sustained a hip fracture. Living overseas and not being able to travel back home to assist with recovery was very worrying. A friend recommended Homage to help with his nursing care. They are prompt in replying to messages. The care provided was excellent and highly professional. We have been very pleased with the service. There are times when we had to change the appointment time and they obliged and looked into our needs.

Anisa Aisha
Positive experience

Our experience has been very positive. So far, we have used their Care Pros perhaps 10 times (for checking in on mum) and she has been nothing short of kind and supportive. The coordinator Bel has also been a great help since day one. I find the price to be reasonable. Love the reporting feature on their app. You could see what has been done during the visit. It’s worth trying out.

Adelaine Yeo
My gratitude and appreciation

My 85-year-old mother, who underwent post-ventral incisional hernia surgery in January 2019 had CPs from Homage, all professionally trained, from leading Malaysian hospitals. The CPs nursed my mother with diligence, and compassion; providing invaluable tips on elderly caregiving to family members. My gratitude and appreciation to Team Homage.

Azwan Shahuddin
Definitely one of the best!

I had positive experiences with Homage so far. They are flexible, affordable, and professional. The coordinator from Homage has been very helpful and accommodating to my request since day one. Caregivers assigned to take care of my grandmother are punctual, professionally trained and attentive. Hope they will continue to serve well.

Kamilah Barvin
Comprehensive physiotherapy program

Homage has helped us a lot in assisting the recovery of our beloved father. They provide us with a comprehensive explanation regarding the physiotherapy program. The therapist they sent is highly qualified, courteous, passionate, and gave outstanding service. And above all, the charges are fair and affordable.

Farizal Anam
Guidance for my domestic helper

Thank you Homage for your assistance after my mom was discharged from the hospital due to dengue fever. Mom regained her confidence to take her first shower after discharge with the help of Homage's caregiver, something my domestic helper will not be able to do. Also to guide my domestic helper to handle her in a more hygienic way. My maid learned the proper method and able to give better care to mom now. Highly recommend it to people who looking for professional care services to manage family members who need help.

Jenny Lim
Hassle-free swab test

Sofia Mustaffa
Overall a good team work

I want to thank Homage for their excellent service especially Ms. Ginger for her brilliant communication and customer service and for making the necessary arrangements. She does a good follow-up before and after the physio, also accurate feed-back. We appreciate Ms. Shu for her excellent physio service which made my mother gain confidence that she can walk again. Ms. Shu is very patient, hard-working, and committed to seeing my mum will be completely restored and healed. Thank you.
