I don't think it is necessary to see a cardiologist for this, unless you are having severe complications. Most GPs or doctor in Internal Medicine can handle this problem.

Any of those you mention. This is how it goes......first the doctor will see if there is a reason for the high BP. More than 9 in 10 people with high blood pressure have what's called 'primary' or 'essential hypertension'. This means that there's no single clear cause of it. Around 5 in 10 people with high blood pressure have 'secondary hypertension'. This means your condition can be linked to a recognised cause - in fact, it may be a symptom of another underlying disease. If there is a reason for it - that problem is treated, if possible. If there is no reason for it the BP is treated anyway to help stop all the problems associated with high BP from developing.

I once went to a cardiologist, went into his office, sat and had to wait up to two hours or more before I would get to see him, gave me the same prescription each time, and said I will see you in two months, and never in the two or three years I saw him, got my blood pressure down but I was told of this family doctor in town, went to see him, he was the only one who really relieved my blood pressure by getting me on track to the exact right medication, so keep seeking out doctors who can really help you in a way which you are truly satisfied. I don't approve of the cardiologist, looking back, I know I sat in his office too long, he had too many patients, and a person with high blood pressure, the last thing they need is to wait two hours and more. My blood pressure is so much better today, no headaches, I suggest that you keep on trying till you can find a doctor who can really help you soon. And I didn't have to wait more than fifteen to thirty minutes to get in. Good luck to you....

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

A cardiologist. High blood pressure seldom comes alone.

I'd suggest a nephrologist, or an internist with a stated interest in high blood pressure.

Being HBP a cardiovascular condition, you would need a Cardiologist.
