People often think the symptoms of high blood pressure are:
Frequent headaches
Dizziness
And though you may feel these things, the truth is that most people
with high blood pressure have no symptoms.
That's why it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly.
If you know your blood pressure is too high, you can do something about it.
Lowering your blood pressure can help at any age
seemingly healthy people in their 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s suddenly have a stroke or heart attack.
The cause is sometimes related to high blood pressure that has been left
undiagnosed, untreated or treated with a medication that hasn't
lowered their blood pressure enough.

High blood pressure can happen to anyone.
In fact, 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure.
But some people are more at risk for developing it than others.
The groups listed below should be especially careful
about monitoring and treating their blood pressure

You may have a higher risk of blood pressure , if you are in one of these groups:

1:People with blood relatives who have high blood pressure, like a father, mother or sibling
2:Men over the age of 55
3:Women over the age of 65
4:Post menopausal women
5:African Americans, especially women
6:Some women who take birth control pills
7:People who get little or no regular physical activity
8:People who smoke
9:People who are overweight
10:People with high cholesterol

For many people, exercise and making healthier food choices are helpful,
but not enough to get them into the BP Success Zone
(less than 140/90 to 120/80 mm Hg or below)
There are many different blood pressure medications that can help.
If you have high blood pressure talk to your healthcare professional about the best treatment options for you.

Just a few Types of Blood Pressure Medications
1:Beta-Blockers
This medication slows the heart so it doesn't work as hard to pump blood through blood vessels.
This helps reduce blood pressure.
2:Calcium Channel Blockers
This medication prevents calcium from entering smooth muscle cells in blood vessels.
This lets blood vessels relax and reduces blood pressure.
3:Diuretics
Also known as "water pills." They work by flushing excess sodium and water from the body.
This reduces blood volume, which helps lower blood pressure.

These are just some of the medicines out there
Please be sure to consult a physician and be treated with what is best for you
