Hypertension | High Blood Pressure, the Silent Killer

Hypertension, like Diabetes, is a rapidly growing disease in the United States and Central Texas.  These two diseases can occur together but many patients have high blood pressure without being Diabetic.   High blood pressure can lead to Strokes, Heart Disease, Peripheral Vascular problems and even Renal Failure.  Many times there are no signs or symptoms of high blood pressure.  This is why it is so dangerous.  Some patients do experience headaches, light headedness or dizziness, and even chest pain.  If think you might have high blood pressure, or you have had family members who have high blood pressure, please call us immediately for an appointment!   At Cedar Hills Family Practice, we are committed to helping you control your high blood pressure and put you back in the driver’s seat.
