Hypertension Questions

About Hypertension

What is hypertension?

Hypertension is higher-than-normal levels of blood pressure, or the force your blood applies to the inner walls of the arteries. The higher your blood pressure, the harder your heart has to work to pump blood—if left untreated, hypertension increases the risk of serious health issues like heart attack, kidney disease and stroke.

What causes hypertension?

The specific causes of hypertension are often unknown. However, the following factors play a role in high blood pressure:

  • Smoking
  • Lack of physical activity
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Stress
  • Genetics and family history
  • Gender (hypertension affects more men than women)
  • Kidney disease
What are the symptoms of hypertension?

Hypertension—known as a “silent killer”—doesn’t usually cause symptoms until it has reached a severe stage, making blood pressure screenings an important part of general health care. When symptoms occur, they can include shortness of breath, nosebleeds and headaches.

What are the hypertension diagnosis guidelines?

According to the American Heart Association, Stage 1 hypertension is characterized as blood pressure readings from 130 to 139 systolic or 80 to 89 diastolic, with Stage 2 defined as at least 140 systolic or at least 90 diastolic. A hypertensive crisis is blood pressure levels higher than 180 or over 90—people with these readings should seek medical help immediately.

Why does Dr. B only offer refills for hypertension treatments?

For your safety, an initial hypertension diagnosis should come from an in-person medical provider versus a telehealth model. However, once you have been diagnosed with hypertension and provided an initial prescription, Dr. B is able to help refill that prescription virtually.

To get a refill, you’ll need 1) a photo of your most hypertension medication bottle (with your name and the name of the medication clearly visible) and 2) a blood pressure reading from the last 3 months.

What are the treatments Dr. B offers for hypertension?

Dr. B offers a variety of commonly prescribed hypertension medications. Generally, the treatments we offer fall into 3 categories:

  • Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors help your body produce lower levels of angiotensin, a chemical that narrows the arteries. It helps relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
  • Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) prevent calcium from entering the arteries and heart, opening up blood vessels and reducing blood pressure.
  • Diuretics help manage blood pressure by increasing urination, allowing your body to remove excess water, sodium and certain electrolytes.

In some cases, hypertension treatments consist of two medications (one from each of the above categories), or a 2-in-1 combination medication.

How is hypertension treatment taken?

Hypertension medications are available in multiple formulations, including tablets, capsules and oral suspensions. Follow your prescribing doctor’s dosing instructions carefully.

What are common hypertension treatment side effects?

In many cases, hypertension medications do not cause any side effects. If they do occur, they are usually mild and may include headaches, dizziness, nausea or swelling in the legs or feet. Talk to your prescribing doctor if you experience serious side effects.

How can I get a hypertension prescription online?

Dr. B offers convenient refills for hypertension prescriptions via an online medical service with vetted doctors and medical providers. To get started, you'll complete a comprehensive health assessment. Next, a board-certified doctor or medical provider will review your health and medical history. If the provider recommends a refill for your hypertension prescription, they will send it to your pharmacy of choice for pick-up. Dr. B offers prescriptions for many safe and effective hypertension medications, including brand and generic options. Please not that refills are only available for your existing prescription.

How much does hypertension treatment cost?

Consultation: A consultation for a hypertension prescription refill costs $15.00, which is lower than most doctor co-pays. Currently we don’t submit medical consultation claims to insurance companies, but you can use insurance for the prescription itself at your pharmacy.

Medication: Dr. B only charges for the prescription consultation. Instead of marking up medications, we enable you to choose the most affordable or convenient pharmacy to get your prescription filled. Prices for your medication will vary depending on your insurance coverage and whether the drug is a brand or generic.

Do you accept insurance?

At this time we don’t submit medical consultation claims to insurance companies, but you can use insurance for the hypertension prescription at your pharmacy.

How do refills work?

We’ll send you a reminder for a quick online check-in when it’s time for your next refill.

The whole team at Dr. B has been so helpful, making sure I got the best-suited medicine and checking up to see how things are going.
