Hypertension Treatment in Pearland, TX

Comprehensive Blood Pressure Care at Broadway Family Clinic

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a chronic condition that can quietly damage your heart, brain, kidneys, and blood vessels if left untreated. Because it often causes no symptoms, many people don’t realize they have high blood pressure until complications develop.

At Broadway Family Clinic in Pearland, Texas, we provide personalized hypertension evaluation and management focused on long-term cardiovascular health and prevention.

What Is Hypertension?

Hypertension occurs when the force of blood against artery walls remains consistently too high. Over time, this increased pressure can strain the heart and blood vessels, raising the risk of serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and vision loss.

Blood pressure is measured using two numbers:

  • Systolic pressure (top number): pressure when the heart beats

  • Diastolic pressure (bottom number): pressure when the heart rests

Consistently elevated readings may indicate hypertension and require medical care.

Common Symptoms of High Blood Pressure

Hypertension is often called the “silent condition” because many people experience no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they may include:

  • Headaches

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Blurred vision

  • Chest discomfort

  • Shortness of breath

  • Fatigue

Because symptoms are unreliable, routine blood pressure screening is essential.

What Causes Hypertension?

High blood pressure often develops from a combination of genetic, lifestyle, and medical factors, including:

  • Family history of hypertension

  • High sodium diet

  • Physical inactivity

  • Obesity or excess weight

  • Chronic stress

  • Smoking or excessive alcohol use

  • Underlying conditions such as diabetes or kidney disease

Our providers take a comprehensive approach to identify contributing factors and tailor treatment accordingly.

Hypertension Evaluation and Diagnosis

At Broadway Family Clinic, hypertension diagnosis may include:

  • Multiple blood pressure readings over time

  • Review of medical and family history

  • Evaluation of lifestyle factors

  • Lab testing to assess kidney function, cholesterol, and blood sugar

  • Assessment for secondary causes of high blood pressure

This thorough evaluation helps guide safe and effective treatment.

Hypertension Treatment & Management

Managing high blood pressure often requires a combination of medical and lifestyle strategies:

Medication Management

When appropriate, blood pressure medications may be prescribed and adjusted based on your individual response and goals.

Lifestyle & Preventive Care

We focus on sustainable changes, including:

  • Heart-healthy nutrition guidance

  • Physical activity recommendations

  • Weight management support

  • Stress reduction strategies

  • Smoking cessation counseling

Ongoing Monitoring

Regular follow-ups help ensure blood pressure remains controlled and treatment plans are optimized.

When to Seek Care for High Blood Pressure

You should schedule an appointment if:

  • You’ve had elevated blood pressure readings

  • You have a family history of hypertension or heart disease

  • You experience symptoms such as headaches or dizziness

  • You are already on medication and need adjustments

Early intervention significantly lowers the risk of complications.
