Very high blood pressure accompanied by chest pain, significant shortness of breath, weakness or numbness, difficulty speaking, confusion, vision changes, or other severe symptoms requires immediate medical attention.High blood pressure frequently causes no symptoms.

High blood pressure frequently causes no symptoms. That is one reason regular measurement and appropriate treatment are so important.

When blood pressure is severely elevated, symptoms may sometimes include:


Some patients continue to have elevated blood pressure despite treatment. This may require a more comprehensive evaluation.

Our approach to difficult-to-control and resistant hypertension looks beyond the blood pressure number itself.

We consider factors that may be contributing to elevated blood pressure, the effectiveness and tolerability of current medications, other medical conditions, lifestyle factors, and whether there is evidence that hypertension is affecting the heart, kidneys, blood vessels, or other organs.

The goal is to understand why your blood pressure is elevated and develop a treatment strategy that is appropriate for you.

When High Blood Pressure is Difficult to Control
Warning Signs & Symptoms

Severe headache
Shortness of breath
Chest discomfort
Changes in vision
Confusion or neurologic symptoms

Hypertension occurs when blood pressure remains too high over time. Because it often causes no symptoms, many people can have high blood pressure for years without realizing the effect it may be having on their health.

Uncontrolled hypertension can damage blood vessels and place additional stress on the heart, brain, kidneys, and other organs.

Controlling blood pressure is one of the most important ways to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, and other cardiovascular complications.
