How Can You
Prevent or Control High Blood Pressure?

If
you have high blood pressure, you and your health care
provider need to work together as a team to reduce it. The two
of you need to agree on your blood pressure goal. Together,
you should come up with a plan and timetable for reaching your
goal.
Blood pressure is usually measured in millimeters of
mercury (mmHg) and is recorded as
two numbers—systolic pressure (as the heart beats) “over”
diastolic pressure (as the heart
relaxes between beats)—for example, 130/80 mmHg. Ask your
doctor to write down for
you your blood pressure numbers and your blood pressure goal
level. |

Controlling High Bloodpressure
Monitoring your blood pressure
at home between visits to your doctor can be helpful. You also may
want to bring a family member with you when you visit your doctor. Having
a family member who knows that you have high blood pressure and who
understands what you need to do to lower your blood pressure often
makes it easier to make
the changes that will help you reach your goal.

you have normal blood pressure or prehypertension, following these steps

pressure-lowering drugs. Following the steps described will help you
prevent and control high blood pressure. While you read them, think to
yourself . . . “I Can Do It!”
