Hypertension is higher-than-normal levels of blood pressure. (Blood pressure is the force your blood applies to the inner artery walls.) The higher your blood pressure, the harder your heart has to work to pump blood. If left untreated, high blood pressure increases the risk of serious health issues like heart attack, kidney disease and stroke.
Hypertension—or high blood pressure—is not caused by one single event or risk factor. Common factors that play a role in elevating blood pressure include:
Hypertension is sometimes called a “silent killer” because it doesn’t usually cause symptoms until it has reached a severe stage. This is why it's vital to get regular blood pressure screenings during primary health care visits. When symptoms do occur, they can include shortness of breath, nosebleeds, headaches and irregular heartbeat.
Depending on the cause and severity, hypertension can be improved or even reversed. The right medication, a healthy lifestyle and/or treatment of underlying medical conditions can all help lower blood pressure levels.
The American Heart Association categorizes blood pressure ranges through 2 blood pressure reading markers. Systolic mm Hg is the upper number and diastolic mm Hg is the lower number.
For your safety, an initial hypertension diagnosis should come from an in-person medical provider—not a telehealth model. Once you have a diagnosis and a prescription, Dr. B can help you refill that prescription through an online consultation. You must provide a photo of your most recent hypertension medication bottle with your name and the medication name clearly visible. You’ll also have to share a blood pressure reading taken within the last 3 months.
Hypotension happens when blood pressure is too low. It often causes no symptoms. When it does, they can include hypertension-like symptoms that include dizziness, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms specific to hypotension include fatigue, shallow breathing and unusual behavior.
Dr. B offers refill prescriptions for a variety of hypertension medicines. Treatments fall into 5 categories:
Some hypertension treatments consist of 2 medications—one from each of the above categories. The combinations include:
Hypertension medications are available as capsules, tablets, oral solutions and transdermal patches. Follow your prescribing doctor’s dosing instructions carefully.
Hypertension treatments do not typically cause side effects. If they do occur, they are usually mild and include headaches, dizziness, nausea or swollen ankles and feet. Talk to your prescribing doctor if you experience serious side effects like face swelling, a severe allergic reaction or yellowing of the skin of eyes.
Dr. B’s hassle-free online medical consultations can help you refill your current prescription for medications like Norvasc, Amlodipine and Losartan online. First, complete a comprehensive health assessment. A licensed medical provider will review your assessment. If they recommend a prescription refill, they will send it to your pharmacy of choice.
