2024 Hypertension update: NICE guideline

This video makes reference to guidelines produced by the "National Institute for Health and Care Excellence" in the UK, also referred to as "NICE". Please note that the content on this channel reflects my professional interpretation/summary of the guidance and that I am in no way affiliated with, employed by or funded/sponsored by NICE.
My name is Fernando Florido and I am a General Practitioner in the United Kingdom. In this episode, I go through the NICE guideline [NG136] on Hypertension in adults, always focusing on what is relevant in Primary Care only.

Thank you sir. For the past 4 yrs i have been having higher bp in clinic setting but optimum bp at home between 99 to 107 sys. And 63 to 73 dias. Doctors seem not to believe me when i told them i only have high bp at the hospital. I refused to take the medicines. I recently did my blood work. Everything was normal except pericardial fluid at right ventricle measuring 0.85cm. i am not diabetic, good BMI, i try to live a healthy life, i exercise, kidney and liver function test were okay, triglycerides normal, ldl a little bit high 4.96 mmol but i notice my hdl is low 0.92.

Thank you for your comment. I’m pleased that your BP at home is good. Any specific concerns should be discussed with your doctor, as they have your full medical records but by what you describe, it doesn’t seem that you have anything to worry about 🙏
