Expert Care at Tempe Primary Care
What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition in which the force of blood against the artery walls is consistently too high. Often called the “silent killer,” hypertension may not cause noticeable symptoms but can significantly increase, the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems.
At Tempe Primary Care, We work with patients to detect, treat, and manage hypertension effectively—helping you live longer and stay healthier.
Why Is Blood Pressure So Important?
Without treatment, high blood pressure can lead to:
Heart attacks and heart failure
- Stroke
- Vision loss
- Kidney damage
- Memory problems or dementia
- Aneurysms
Because many people feel fine even with high blood pressure, routine monitoring and
management are key.
What Are the Symptoms of High Blood Pressure?
Most people with hypertension don’t feel any symptoms until serious damage has
occurred. That’s why it’s often discovered during routine visits.
Some patients may experience:
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Nosebleeds
- Vision changes
- Chest pain (in severe cases)
If you’re experiencing any of these, especially along with known risk factors, it’s
important to get checked.
Who Is at Risk?
Anyone can develop high blood pressure, but you’re more likely to develop it if you:
- Are overweight
- Have a sedentary lifestyle
- Eat a high-sodium diet
- Smoke
- Drink alcohol excessively
- Have a family history of hypertension
- Are over the age of 40
