High blood pressure
Also searched as hypertension or high BP. Ongoing checks, medication management and lifestyle support, mostly by video after the first visit.
What it is
High blood pressure means your heart works harder than it should. It often has no symptoms, which is why regular checks matter.
How we help
Your provider checks your readings, agrees a target with you and adjusts medicines if needed. Many patients bring their numbers down with small changes first.
What to expect
The first visit is in the clinic and takes about 30 minutes. Follow-ups every few months can be on video, with a home blood pressure log.
Who can help
Any of our family doctors. Dr. Reid leads our chronic care clinic on Thursdays.
