Expert care to help you control your blood pressure and protect your long-term health
At Pulmonary & Medical Associates in Warren, MI, we specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of hypertension—commonly known as high blood pressure. As a leading internal medicine provider, we understand that hypertension often presents no symptoms, which is why it’s known as a “silent” threat. If left unmanaged, it can increase your risk of serious complications, including heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage.
What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls remains consistently elevated. A normal reading is under 120/80 mmHg. Persistent readings above this range may indicate high blood pressure and require professional evaluation.
