Advanced General Medicine helps patients in Elizabeth, NJ monitor and manage hypertension through regular check-ins, medication adjustments when needed, and practical lifestyle guidance.
We manage high blood pressure for patients throughout Elizabeth, Union, Linden, Roselle, Hillside, and Newark, and we're currently accepting new patients. If your blood pressure has been difficult to control, or you've recently been diagnosed, Dr. Vasquez Duran will work with you on a plan that fits your lifestyle.
Blood pressure management often includes:
Adults should have their blood pressure checked at least once a year, and more often if it runs high or you take blood pressure medication. Your doctor will set a schedule that fits your readings and overall health.
For some people, lifestyle changes such as eating less sodium, exercising regularly, losing weight, limiting alcohol, and quitting smoking can lower blood pressure enough. Others also need medication. Your doctor will recommend the right approach, and you should not stop prescribed medication on your own.
