50 year old check up: The answer to your question is a resounding "yes". You have hypertension and you need to know if you have any end organ damage to your heart, brain or kidneys. Please see a physician for a complete evaluation.

Yes: 50 is a benchmark year , which is ideal for a good evaluation. You should get a thorough exam, blood work, ECG , and colonoscopy if never performed . Your doctor will evaluate your family history and determine other options such as bone density studies, mammogram, ect.
