• Individuals with BMI >50 have underlying Obesity
Hypoventilation syndrome and individuals with underly-
ing heart failure can have Central Sleep Apneas, when
Positive airway pressure therapy may need frequent fol-
low up and consider repeat titration.
• Hypoglossal Nerve stimulation and dental appliances are
effective in moderate to severe of Obstructive Sleep
apnea, however it has not been tested in individuals with
BMI >32.
Don’t Miss This!
• Obstructive sleep apnea, although the commonest cause, is
only one of the many causes of excessive daytime sleepi-
ness (EDS). Do not miss other coexisting conditions like
restless legs syndrome (frequent in pregnant individuals,
individuals with end-stage kidney disease, patients on
diuretics), narcolepsy, and the most common of all chronic
sleep deprivation.
• For circadian rhythm sleep disorders, the best shift that
causes least sleep disturbance is the 4PM–12MN shift.

Introduction

Hypertension is the most common chronic condition seen in
primary care practice. Hypertension is not only a major pre-
ventable cause of cardio-cerebrovascular morbidity and mor-
tality; it is also an independent risk factor for end-organ
damage including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure,
retinopathy, and end-stage renal disease. Social determinants
coupled with behavioral and genetic factors play an impor-
tant role in the development of hypertension and its related
complications.

Scope of the Problem

Annually, over ten million deaths worldwide can be attributed
to hypertension [1]. Approximately 80 million, or one in three
American adults, have high blood pressure. About one in three

American adults also have prehypertension, blood pressure
values that are higher than normal but not yet in the high blood
pressure range. Seventy-seven percent of individuals diagnosed
with hypertension are using antihypertensive medications, but
only 54% have their condition controlled. The prevalence of
hypertension is projected to increase about 8% between 2013
and 2030. High blood pressure costs the nation $48.6 billion each
year. This total includes the cost of healthcare services, medica-
tions to treat high blood pressure, and missed days of work [2].
Based on the data provided by the American Heart
Association in 2015 [3], there is widespread racial and gender
disparity in the prevalence of high blood pressure in the US
population. Rates in African-Americans are among the high-
est of any population in the world.
• 46% of African-American women have high blood
pressure.
• 45% of African-American men have high blood pressure.
• 33% of white men have high blood pressure.
• 30% of white women have high blood pressure.
• 30% of Hispanic men have high blood pressure.
• 30% of Hispanic women have high blood pressure.

Key History and Physical Exam

Contributing factors to elevated blood pressure need to be
assessed during an initial visit and all subsequent visits. Every
clinical encounter requires a review of systems and family
history of symptoms of cardio-cerebrovascular disease, renal
disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and gout. History of symp-
toms suggestive of secondary hypertension should be
explored, e.g., weight gain, sedentary lifestyle, physical activ-
ity, and tobacco use [4]. Psychosocial and environmental fac-
tors that may elevate blood pressure such as social
determinants, family situation, employment status, working
conditions, and education level need to be addressed. Sodium
intake, alcohol use, and intake of saturated fat and choles-
terol should be assessed. Medication history should include
effectiveness of prior therapy and/or intolerance to previous

antihypertensive therapy and use of commonly prescribed
over-the-counter medications, herbal and illicit medications,
or recreational drugs that may raise blood pressure or inter-
fere with the effectiveness of antihypertensive medications.
Decision-Making/Differential Diagnoses
The early stages of hypertension may have no clinical manifes-
tations except elevated blood pressures. Primary or essential
hypertension should be considered when there are consecu-
tive elevated blood pressures, bilateral temporal throbbing
headaches, and unexplained lower extremity edema.
Similar to primary hypertension, secondary hypertension
usually does not have specific signs and symptoms even with
elevated pressures. However, blood pressures not responding
to usual medications, early onset (before age 30) or late onset,
normal BMI, no family history, and presence of end-organ
damage and/or dysfunction should be evaluated for second-
ary hypertension (Tables 15.1 and 15.2).

Physical Examination

Physical examination establishes the diagnosis and may reveal
the severity of disease. The following examination should be
performed:

Measuring Blood Pressure

The accurate measurement of blood pressure remains the
most important technique for evaluating hypertension [5].
The following steps are recommended when measuring blood
pressure to avoid inaccuracies:
• No caffeine, exercise, or smoking for 30 min prior.
• Seated quietly for 5 min in a high-back chair.
• Upper arms free of constrictive clothing.
• Both feet on the floor, legs should not be crossed, and arm
supported at the level of the heart.
• Cuff bladder should encircle at least 80% of the arm
circumference.
• At least two blood pressure measurements per arm to
obtain an average reading.
• Inflate the cuff to 20–30 mmHg above pulse extinction.
• Deflate at a rate of 2–3 mmHg/s.
• Systolic BP = onset of the first Korotkoff sound.
• Diastolic BP = disappearance of Korotkoff sounds.
• Neither the patient nor the observer should talk during the
measurement.

Laboratory Tests

Baseline tests are recommended to identify those individuals
at risk for hypertension or to obtain clues to diagnose second-
ary hypertension:
• Electrocardiogram
• Urinalysis
• Blood glucose measurement
• Complete blood count
