Hypertension

Have you been told you have high blood pressure?

When you have persistent high blood pressure it is called Hypertension. When your blood pressure stays high over time, it causes the heart to pump harder and work overtime, possibly leading to serious health problems such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney failure. There are ways to manage your blood pressure by working closely with your Primary Care Physician (PCP) as well as working on lifestyle, such as diet, exercise, and reducing stress.
