Blood Pressure Benefits
GLP-1 medications reduce blood pressure through multiple mechanisms. Weight loss of 10-15% typically lowers systolic BP by 5-10 mmHg. Improved insulin sensitivity reduces sodium retention. Reduced sympathetic nervous system activity. Better endothelial function improves vascular compliance. Some patients can reduce or eliminate blood pressure medications. The cardiovascular protection from GLP-1s includes stroke and heart attack risk reduction.
Monitoring
Monitor blood pressure weekly when starting GLP-1s. Work with your provider to adjust BP medications as weight drops. Sudden BP drops can cause dizziness. SeraVia formulations support cardiovascular health.
