Drug-Induced Hypertension
It's a good idea to check blood pressure when it rises unexpectedly or coincides with starting a new medication, since that pattern may point toward drug-induced hypertension. This is an increase in blood pressure that appears as a consequence of using certain substances or medications, and that usually improves when the responsible factor is adjusted under supervision.
Frequent symptoms: In many cases it causes no discomfort, but it may be accompanied by headache, ringing in the ears, or a general feeling of being unwell.
Which specialist treats it? The internist, the cardiologist, the nephrologist, and the family physician can evaluate the condition, and in acute situations the emergency physician steps in. It's never a good idea to change a treatment on your own: the safe course is to discuss any change in blood pressure with a professional.
