High blood pressure (hypertension)
goodtoknow says: High blood pressure (hypertension) simply means that the blood pressure in your arteries is too high. 1 in 3 women in the UK have high blood pressure and the higher it is, the greater your health risk, but there's plenty you can do to lower it. Losing weight, eating healthily, cutting down on alcohol and giving up smoking are an excellent start. Several drugs can help too, which your doctor will tell you about. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. So if you've just been diagnosed, don't panic. It means you can be treated and avoid serious illness.
