Controlling High Blood Pressure

Final Thoughts

High blood pressure control requires constant effort. Many people need to change habits they developed over the course of a lifetime. Changing these habits may be a hard thing to do. People can feel overwhelmed with the changes they're told they need to make as part of their high blood pressure treatment -- especially when they weren't feeling that bad to begin with. Keep in mind that one healthy choice is better than none, and simply take it one day at a time. If your doctor prescribes high blood pressure medication as part of your treatment, be sure to take the medicine exactly as it's prescribed. Your ongoing dedication is an important part of your effort to lower blood pressure.
