What to Expect

Your initial appointment will last approximately 30 min.

During this first visit, the clinical nurse will measure your height, weight and abdominal circumference.

The size of your arms will also be measured. This is to ensure that the proper cuff size is used when measuring your blood pressure. If the cuff is too small, the readings will be higher than the true measurement. This is very important because many people have larger arm sizes.

Blood pressure measurements will also be taken in both arms while you are seated, not talking and alone in the room. In some people, one arm may have a higher reading. If so, it will indicate that you should use that arm for future blood pressure measurements.

Standing blood pressures will also be taken. To exclude postural hypotension.

Your thorough medical history will be documented, including any current and past hypertension medications you have used and possible side effects.

You are asked to bring all your current medications in their original containers to your appointment.

The accuracy of your home blood pressure machine can also be tested at this time.

The doctor will then conduct a brief physical examination and discuss a plan of action for your treatment.

Appointments will be made for possible diagnostic tests to assess your heart and/or kidneys, and a follow-up appointment is usually booked.

At follow-up visits,

Your blood pressure and body weight will be measured,

Results of tests will be reviewed and

Lifestyle changes will be discussed.

Medications will be added or modified as required.
