Specializes in Internal Medicine

Office follow up: Unless he has symptoms, such as chest pain or blurred vision for example, would suggest keeping a log of his blood pressures rather than running to ER. Once there is a clear trend towards high blood pressures a follow up visit with his PCP would be appropriate.
