Controlling blood pressure
If your blood pressure is in the normal range, stick with heart-healthy habits such as following a balanced diet and getting regular exercise.
If your blood pressure is elevated (HTN stage 1 and stage 2), work with your health care professional to control the condition.
In hypertensive crisis, you need medical attention.
- Wait five minutes after your first reading.
- Take your blood pressure again.
If your readings are still unusually high, contact your health care professional immediately.
