I'm a primary care physician reassessing my approach to hypertension management, especially for patients whose blood pressure remains elevated despite initial medication. I follow the guidelines, but I find the stepwise pharmacologic approach sometimes overlooks individual patient factors like adherence barriers or specific comorbidities. For other PCPs, how do you structure follow-up and titration for these patients, and what strategies have you found most effective for integrating lifestyle coaching into a standard fifteen-minute visit to support medication efficacy?
