Learn About the Causes of Hypertension
A blood pressure reading of 130/80 mm Hg or higher is referred to as hypertension under the American (ACC/AHA) guidelines, while many other guidelines use 140/90 mm Hg. However, focusing solely on the number is not enough. High blood pressure can come about as a result of kidney problems, hormone imbalance, thyroid disease, sleep apnea, or some medicines you are taking. Dr. Fulara works with issues pertaining to the endocrine and metabolic systems, so he can look for the reasons behind the problem as well as work on bringing the blood pressure down.
