High Blood Pressure And Hypertension Treatment
Numerous serious health issues, including heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke, are greatly influenced by high blood pressure. To lead a healthier life, our board-certified providers can assist you in managing your blood pressure.
Hypertension is when the pressure in your blood vessel is too high.

- Normal: A reading of 120 over 80 (120/80)
- Elevated: 120-129/80
- Stage 1 hypertension: 130-139/80-89

Untreated high blood pressure increases your risk of severe health problems, including stroke, heart attack, and heart failure. Fortunately, high blood pressure can easily be detected and once you know you have been diagnosed, you can work with UrgentWay primary & urgent care doctors to control it.
Symptoms Of Hypertension
Certain symptoms include early morning headaches, irregular heart rhythms, nosebleeds, vision changes, vomiting, confusion, and buzzing in the ears. Severe hypertension can cause fatigue, nausea, anxiety, blood in the urine, difficulty breathing, muscle tremors, and chest pain.
