Blood pressure is measured in two readings: systolic pressure, which measures the pressure of the blood when the heart contracts, and diastolic pressure, which measures the pressure between heartbeats.
As a standard part of any medical visit to our urgent care center, the physicians at AFC Urgent Care Seminole will check your blood pressure to ensure you are not at risk for any heart-health complications during your visit.
Blood pressure readings can detect health issues such as the below and more:
- Hypertension
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
Open seven days a week, our walk-in clinic is fully equipped with a state-of-the-art lab and digital x-ray system, allowing us to treat our patients symptomatic of high blood pressure. After your visit, we will then refer you to your primary care physician or specialist, as needed.
If you would like more information about our blood pressure screenings, or other services we provide at our urgent care center, please call us at (727) 394-3828.
