About High Blood Pressure
Do you have high blood pressure? About 1 in every 3 American adults does, but the signs and symptoms aren’t always easy to recognize until serious problems arise. That’s why screening is so important. Also called “hypertension,” high blood pressure is a medical condition that can put you at risk for heart disease, stroke, and other serious illnesses.
But there is good news. We can help you reduce your risk of high blood pressure. If you already have hypertension, we can help you lower your blood pressure. You’ll find more information on this site about what causes high blood pressure, how to prevent it, how to correct it, and where to go for help.
