It’s understandable if you feel overwhelmed by your diagnosis. We’re here for you, and your doctor is too.

Make it Fun, Make it Tasty
Your doctor will probably recommend some lifestyle changes. Break out your dancing shoes, because small changes like moving more can help you lower your numbers. Permission to have fun, granted!

Meds Can Help
Your blood pressure plan may include prescription medication. While taking daily pills isn’t a lot of fun, it’s one of the most powerful tools you can use to control your blood pressure. Even if you aren’t feeling any symptoms or your readings have improved, don’t stop your meds. And be sure to tell your doctor if you have any side effects or other concerns.
