What Is High Blood Pressure Treatment?

High blood pressure (HBP) or hypertension is a prevalent health condition that affects millions of people of all ages. The condition occurs when the blood pushes against the blood vessels with intense force, typically causing damage to the arteries, veins, and capillaries, making it difficult for blood to travel. If left untreated, it can also lead to other health conditions, like heart disease, stroke, poor kidney function, and more. Board certified in internal medicine, Dr. Roger Estevez has helped many patients manage their high blood pressure and overall health.
