What other healthcare providers will I see if I have chronic hypertension?

If you have chronic hypertension, you may see other healthcare providers. You may need to see a hypertension specialist if you have resistant hypertension (when your blood pressure cannot be decreased even with treatments). If you are under 20 years old, or your blood pressure has suddenly increased, you will need to see this healthcare provider. You will need appointments with other healthcare providers if another condition is causing your hypertension. If you develop organ damage, you will need to see other healthcare providers.
