Hypertension (also known as high blood pressure) is a condition that causes the arteries to have elevated blood pressure.  Every time our heart beats, it pumps blood to the whole body through the arteries.

High blood pressure may result in aneurysm, kidney failure, heart failure, heart attack or stroke.

You may have Hypertension for years and never know it!  This can lead to significant organ failure or death.  KNOW your numbers!  Even if you feel fine.  High blood pressure can be prevented and treated with proper diagnosis.  Contact your neighborhood team specialists at Dominion Internal Medicine today for more information @ (540) 878-5408 or to schedule an appointment.
