When High Blood Pressure remains elevated despite medication, several factors may be responsible. Irregular medication use, high salt intake, stress, obesity, lack of exercise, or poor sleep can reduce treatment effectiveness. Certain conditions like kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or sleep apnea may also cause resistant hypertension. Alcohol, smoking, and some over-the-counter medicines can further interfere with blood pressure control.
Doctors may need to adjust medications or investigate underlying causes through additional tests. Following prescribed treatment, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and regular monitoring are essential for better blood pressure management and reducing long-term health risks.
