High blood pressure raises your chances of having both heart attack and stroke. It’s important to know your numbers, because if you have high blood pressure you’ll want to bring those numbers down. Talk to your doctor about the best ways for you to lower your blood pressure. Here are some things they may suggest.
It's VERY IMPORTANT to realize one thing.
High blood pressure is not an ailment or disease.
It is an indication of another problem. If you have high blood pressure, don't ignore it. Consider it like the phone calls you get before the police forcibly evict you. Answer the phone and deal with it.
I totally agree but when you go to the doctor he just treats the symptom. He just gives you a medication to lower blood pressure. If you are lucky he might give you some indications to eat healthily, lose weight etc. but in general what they do is try to turn down the sound of the call instead of picking up the phone to see what's going on.
