There are several ways that you can help to manage your blood pressure and reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.
Have your blood pressure checked regularly, as part of an assessment of your overall risk of heart, stroke, and blood vessel disease. The higher your risk, the more often than you should have these checks.
Thanks and Good Luck!
