    The intervention includes using the lifestyle Medicine Assessment Tool (LMA), a 21-item questionnaire, to assess the patient's current lifestyle and deliver structured counselling according to their scores in each domain. To keep the counselling consistent and standardized throughout the study a checklist will be formulated according to the current guidelines on lifestyle modification for hypertensive patients, consisting of counselling items pertaining to each domain, and it will be followed for all patients in the intervention group. This will be repeated at every monthly follow-up visit for three months.

Study Details

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if knowing and understanding a patient's daily habits and then giving clear advice on what changes to make can help control blood pressure better than the routine way of advising people with high blood pressure. The main questions it aims to answer are: * To learn if using the Lifestyle Medicine Assessment tool (A 21-item questionnaire) to understand the current lifestyle of people with hypertension and guide them accordingly, helps in lowering blood pressure more, as compared to routine advice? * To see if this way of guiding patients is more satisfactory for them then routine advice? Researchers will compare two groups of people with hypertension. One will be guided after assessing their current lifestyle with the Lifestyle Medicine Assessment Tool and one will be given routine guidance. The researchers will then see which group had better blood pressure control. Participants will be: * Asked a few questions about their lifestyle and then they will be advised accordingly on ways to make it better. * They will also be asked to measure their blood pressure at home and bring the record with them when they come for their doctor's visit.

Arms

  • Experimental: Intervention Group
    Patients in the intervention group will complete the Lifestyle Medicine Assessment (LMA) questionnaire, and structured counselling will be delivered according to their scores in each domain. To keep the counselling consistent and standardized throughout the study a checklist will be formulated according to the current guidelines on lifestyle modification for hypertensive patients, consisting of counselling items pertaining to each domain, and it will be followed for all patients in the intervention group. They will be required to keep, and bring with them at each visit, a home BP log comprising of two readings taken one minute apart, twice a day (total four readings daily) for a minimum of 3 to 7 (preferred) days before the consultation. At the end of the study they will complete a satisfaction questionnaire.
  • No Intervention: Control Group
    The patients in the control group will receive the usual routine care. They will be required to keep, and bring with them at each visit, a home BP log comprising of two readings taken one minute apart, twice a day (total four readings daily) for a minimum of 3 to 7 (preferred) days before the consultation. At the end of the study they will complete a satisfaction questionnaire.
