The risk factors of hypertension

What course hypertension is likely to take
If you have hypertension, your heart works harder than it should to pump blood to distant tissues and organs.

Diagnosis of hypertension
Have a health care provider check your blood pressure annually. This will ensure accuracy.

Treatment of hypertension - lifestyle changes
