Is your blood pressure under control?
By making these 10 lifestyle changes, you can lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of heart disease. Lifestyle plays an important role in treating your high blood pressure. If you successfully control your blood pressure with a healthy lifestyle, you might avoid, delay or reduce the need for medication. A hypertensive crisis is a severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to a stroke.
