What a Virtual Visit May Include
Your provider will review your home blood pressure log, ask about any symptoms, and discuss your current medications and lifestyle habits. Treatment recommendations depend on your symptoms, medical history, available examination findings, and provider judgment. Blood pressure control cannot be guaranteed, and there is no single treatment target that applies to every patient — your goal is set based on your individual health profile.
What Your Provider May Review
Your provider may review your blood pressure readings over time, current medications, symptoms, and lifestyle factors such as activity, sodium intake, and stress, then discuss any adjustments to your plan.
When In-Person or Emergency Care May Be Needed
A blood pressure reading of 180/120 mmHg or higher is considered a hypertensive crisis and is a medical emergency, especially if accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, vision changes, or difficulty speaking. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department right away rather than starting a virtual visit.
Virtual urgent care is not intended for medical emergencies. If you believe you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
