You may need some tests to see if hypertension is affecting the rest of your body. These may include:

  • a urine test - protein in your urine may be the first sign of a kidney problem
  • a blood test to check your cholesterol and blood sugar levels, as well as the condition of your kidneys
  • an electrocardiogram (ECG) - a test that measures the electrical activity of your heart to see how well it's working
