If you have high BP, you will know
You must have seen that people who have high BP problems live very comfortable. The easiest way to know is to get regular check up. However, the matter can be serious if it ignored it.
The problem of high BP was only among the elderly
It would be wrong to say that the problem of high BP is seen only in the elderly. Today’s youth are also struggling with the problem of high BP. Stress, weight gain and lack of exercise are the main reasons. For this, the youth should conduct regular checks.
I’m fine i don’t need medicine
The doctor said that even if you are feeling fine, you still have to take medicine. If you stop taking the medicine without consulting a doctor, it can be fatal.
High BP can be controlled by home remedies
Exercising and eating healthy diet is considered good for health, but in many cases you need medication. Only your doctor knows what is good for you and what not.
If the number is normal then it’s fine
Both upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) blood pressure numbers are important. The elevation of any one is a sign of danger.
If someone in my family has a high BP, I will also have
If there is a history of high blood pressure in your family then the risk increases. However, you can control it by changing your lifestyle. Take a healthy diet. Start walking and do not take stress.
If blood pressure is normal then repeated examination is not required
The doctor said that the problem of high blood pressure can change over time. For this, it is very important to investigate continuously. This can be detected in time of disease.
