Are online hypertension treatments effective and reliable?

Online platforms like LifeMD offer telemedicine consultations with licensed healthcare professionals who can develop a personalized treatment plan to help you with your high blood pressure.
How do online hypertension treatments work?
Online treatments typically involve attending a virtual appointment with a healthcare provider. During these consultations, your doctor will ask you questions about your symptoms, medical and family history, and lifestyle habits. It’s important to be honest during your appointment to help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider may also recommend treatment options or additional testing, write prescriptions, or make adjustments to your current routine.
Can LifeMD provide me with prescription medication if needed?
If you attend a virtual appointment with LifeMD, your doctor can recommend a treatment plan to help you with your hypertension.
Your doctor will determine if medication is necessary and will write you a prescription if required. They can also write you a refill, if appropriate. These prescriptions will be sent to your local pharmacy, where your medications will be prepared for pickup.
What happens if I require blood tests for hypertension?
While your doctor will not be able to perform physical tests, LifeMD has partnered with lab facilities across the country. Your healthcare provider will write a referral for lab testing at a location near you.
Your results will be sent to your healthcare provider and discussed during a follow-up appointment.
