Hypertension and Diabetes goes hand in hand. In this episode, Dr. Viv speaks to Ikechukwu Nwosu, NP, about Hypertension. This is otherwise known as “the silent killer” because it can easily go unnoticed due to a lack of prominent symptoms. Dr. Nwosu brings 4 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, along with 11 total years in the healthcare space, providing care to the underserved population and others in the DMV area, and is a repeat guest of the show.

Dr. Viv and Dr. Nwosu discuss how you can be proactive in treating and preventing Hypertension, the importance of staying on top of your treatment plan, discussing possible side effects with your primary care provider, and share some shocking statistics on Hypertension that you won’t want to miss.
