It is estimated more than half of adults in the United States have high blood pressure, but only 1 in 4 are managing it effectively. LaShanda Roberts, FNP-BC, is an advanced practice clinician and family nurse practitioner at GBMC Health Partners Primary Care—Jonestown, talks about hypertension or high blood pressure.

Hypertension is extremely common but hard to self-diagnose because there are no symptoms. Regular well visits coupled with frequent blood pressure checks are the way to go if you think you are at risk. If you are diagnosed, the care team at GBMC can monitor your progress, checking in on lifestyle modifications or medication usage and ensure you are managing your health well.
