HBP Facts

If you have HBP, remember that:

HBP may not make you feel sick, but it is serious. See a doctor to treat it.


You can lower your blood pressure by changing your daily habits and, if needed, by taking medicine. If you need to take HBP medicine, these lifestyle changes may help lower the dose you need and lessen side effects.


Tell your doctor about all the drugs you take. Be sure to mention over-the-counter drugs. They may affect your blood pressure. They also can affect how well your blood pressure medicine works.


Take your blood pressure medicine at the same time each day. For example, take your medicine in the morning with breakfast or in the evening after brushing your teeth. If you miss a dose of your medicine, do not double the dose the next day. Call your doctor to find out what to do.
