When the doctor has measured your blood pressure and concluded that it is too high you are examined more closely. The most important for the doctor is
To assess whether your blood pressure is so high that you need to be medicated
If possible to find the cause of your too high blood pressure.
To examine whether there are other conditions that affect your total risk of having a heart attack or a stroke
To lower your blood pressure sufficiently.
