High blood pressure (hypertension) often goes unrecognized and untreated because there are no symptoms. Your pharmacist can help you reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke by: 1. Reviewing your medications, helping you take them as prescribed and managing potential side effects. 2. Teaching you how to use a blood pressure monitor properly and testing your blood pressure regularly. 3. Advising you how to maintain a healthy weight, and follow a low-sodium diet. 4. Guiding you through a step-by-step smoking cessation plan. Speak with your pharmacist today to learn more about how to keep your blood pressure under control.
