One of the most common things patients tell me is:
“But I feel okay.”
Dr. P Says…
that does NOT mean your blood pressure is okay.
High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer” because many people feel completely normal while damage is quietly happening in the background.
At Outlier Health & Wellness, patients throughout Queens and New York City are often shocked to learn their blood pressure has been elevated for years.
Meanwhile, uncontrolled blood pressure can increase the risk of:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Kidney disease
- Vision problems
- Heart failure
Dr. P Says:
Please stop waiting until your body forces you to pay attention.
Common things that may increase blood pressure:
🚩 Stress
🚩 Poor sleep
🚩 High sodium intake
🚩 Weight gain
🚩 Smoking
🚩 Alcohol
🚩 Skipping medications
🚩 Lack of movement
And honestly?
Some of y’all normalize headaches, dizziness, swelling, and fatigue instead of getting checked. 😩
Dr. P Says:
Preventive care matters.
Checking your blood pressure regularly can literally save your life.
