High blood pressure, checked and treated.
Blood pressure checks, treatment and follow-up for adults. High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, so a check is the only way to know.
High blood pressure care
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of your arteries. When it stays too high, it raises the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease over time. Treatment is a mix of everyday habits and, for many people, medicine.
