Contact UsWhat Is Hypertension?
One in every three adults, around 75 million Americans, has high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Hypertension is a serious condition that, if not properly treated, can place you at an increased risk for heart disease, stroke, and serious complications. High blood pressure often doesn’t present with any symptoms, making it difficult to know that you need medical treatment. This is why having a primary care doctor that pays attention is so important. At Health Direction Medical Center in Chicago, IL, Dr. Esmilkrys B. Ramirez and Dr. Carlos Mella-Picel are committed to preventive care. This means that they can help keep an eye out for hypertension to diagnose and treat any serious issues early on.
Living with Hypertension
Individuals who are at a higher risk of developing high blood pressure are those with unhealthy lifestyles, as well as patients with a family history of hypertension and heart disease. These patients should have their blood pressure taken regularly and maintain a healthy diet. Smoking may increase your risk of hypertension so quitting should be considered and discussed with your provider. If you have previously been diagnosed with hypertension, our primary care providers are equipped and skilled to help manage your condition and live the best possible life.
