In addition, age and family history can also play a role in the development of high blood pressure.
We work with our clients to identify the underlying causes of high blood pressure and develop a plan to manage it based around individual circumstances.

Many people with high blood pressure do not experience any symptoms.
However, you may experience headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, shortness of breath, or chest pain.
