High blood pressure can cause few noticeable symptoms while increasing long-term cardiovascular risk. The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guide to high blood pressure explains established approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
Patients living with diabetes can also review the NIDDK diabetes information center for information about monitoring and reducing complications.
Family Medicine and Patient Care Approach
Family Medicine is designed to provide broad, continuing healthcare rather than concentrating on one organ system. A patient may need treatment for a short-term respiratory infection during one visit and management of blood pressure or diabetes during another.
Dr. Edwards describes building ongoing relationships with patients and working collaboratively toward individual healthcare goals. Vista Physician Group lists prevention, early diagnosis, lifestyle counseling, immunizations, and management of acute and chronic conditions among her services.
Routine care may involve physical examination, medication review, blood-pressure measurement, laboratory testing, and age-appropriate screening. When a condition requires more specialized treatment, Family Medicine can also coordinate referrals and follow-up.
Vaccination is another important part of preventive care. Families can review current recommendations through the CDC vaccination guidance.
