Can an EKG or ultrasound performed by a cardiologist detect hypertension? -

Recently, at my doctors, by blood pressure has been up because I get nervous there. So, my doctor refered me to a cardiologist who performed an ekg and an ultrasound and it returned normal. But, i still worry about it. So if i did have hypertension, would it have been detected??

Hypertension is just another term for high blood pressure.A lot of people get high blood pressure at the doctors office, there is even a term for it quot;white coat hypertension.quot; If you are concerned, buy yourself a blood pressure monitor, learn how to use it, and keep track of your blood pressure yourself. Then when you do to the doctor, take your results with you.
