Where can I get my high blood pressure checked?


All pharmacies will offer a blood pressure checking station, but if you wish for your blood pressure to be checked and assessed by a healthcare provider, you’ll need to visit a primary care physician, walk-in clinic, or urgent care clinic. Most urgent care clinics offer health care to walk-in patients, who require unscheduled primary care, so it is one of the most convenient options available to have a quick health checkup. An urgent care clinic will ensure that the results from a blood pressure test are accurate and that a healthcare provider can review the results with each patient to ensure that they are of good health and that any concerns regarding the results are sufficiently addressed in a timely fashion.

When should I seek immediate help for high blood pressure?


Any adult or child who is experiencing a blood pressure reading of 180/120 or higher and displaying symptoms including chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, or numbness, should seek medical attention immediately as this could be indicative of organ damage. If you are pregnant and your blood pressure is resting around 140/90 or higher, medical attention should be sought out immediately. Hypertension can be indicated starting at a blood pressure reading of 140/90 and worsens in severity as the number increases, eventually leading into a hypertensive crisis if it continues to climb, so any higher-than-normal blood pressure reading should be assessed by a medical professional to prevent the life-threatening risks associated with hypertension. Everyone’s body can react a bit differently to minor increases in blood pressure, so if your blood pressure has only increased slightly but you are experiencing symptoms associated with high blood pressure, medical attention should be sought out as soon as possible.

Can urgent care treat high blood pressure?


The medical staff located at urgent care clinics are more than qualified to treat patients with high blood pressure, being able to prescribe medications that will lower blood pressure, as well as make recommendations to help patients manage their blood pressure levels. Every urgent care clinic will ensure that each patient can receive the healthcare they require for their medical condition, including ruling out other underlying health conditions that may be leading to high blood pressure readings such as heart conditions, sleep apnea, or diabetes. The health care providers will also be able to offer suggestions for patients to manage their blood pressure on a day-to-day basis and will be able to go through the results from the blood pressure reading with the patient so that they understand what the numbers mean and if they should have any concerns regarding the results.

Does Fast Aid Urgent Care provide blood pressure screening?


Yes, Fast Aid Urgent Care offers blood pressure screening at our clinic for all patients and can offer treatment for anyone who has an abnormal blood pressure reading, including those with pre-hypertension and hypertension. All our healthcare providers will offer a consultation following all blood pressure screenings to review the results with the patients to ensure that all patients understand the results and are aware of anything of note. Blood pressure screenings are a normal part of a typical general check-up, so any abnormalities will be noticed and addressed within a normal appointment and recommendations will be made by the healthcare provider to ensure that patients can control their blood pressure levels daily. If our healthcare providers determine that a patient requires more in-depth care for high blood pressure readings, they will be able to prescribe medication to lower the blood pressure as well as make any other appropriate recommendations to ensure the health and safety of all patients.
