Hypertension in Men
High blood pressure often has no symptoms. It still causes harm over time. It can raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and erectile dysfunction.
When to Book
Book a visit if symptoms are new, persistent, getting worse, or affecting daily life. Early evaluation often prevents complications.
Symptoms
Most men have no symptoms. Headaches and dizziness are not reliable indicators of elevated blood pressure.
Causes & Risk Factors
Age, family history, sodium intake, obesity, stress, poor sleep, tobacco, alcohol, and inactivity all raise risk.
How We Evaluate
Diagnosis requires repeated blood pressure readings in office and at home. Labs check kidney function, glucose, lipids, and other markers.
Treatment Options
Treatment includes lifestyle change and medication when needed. Target blood pressure is typically below 130/80 mm Hg.
When It Is Urgent
Seek urgent care for chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache with vision changes, or weakness.

When should I book a men's health visit?
Book a visit when you have a new or worsening symptom, a chronic issue affecting daily life, medication questions, or when you are due for preventive screening.

Some concerns can be reviewed by telehealth. Others need an in-person exam or testing. The right approach depends on the symptoms.

Testing depends on the history, exam findings, and likely diagnosis. Not every concern requires extensive testing.
When should I go to urgent care?
Go urgently for chest pain, sudden severe testicular pain, fever with urinary retention, blood in urine, confusion, or a painful erection that will not go away.
How often should I follow up?
Follow-up frequency depends on the condition, whether treatment is started, and how symptoms change over time.
