Health Reminder
Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality of life. It can lead to a lot of problems
including heart failure, kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging.
By maintaining a healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis, hypertension and
relative diseases are much easier to control when diagnosed in their early stages.
Note: Do not be alarmed if an abnormal reading occurs. A better indication of an individual's blood
pressure occurs after 2-3 readings are taken at the same time each day over an extended period of
time. Consult your physical if test results remain abnormal.

rate account as they better
reflect your daily life. Rea-
dings can be elevated when
taken in a clinical or medical
environment. This is known
as White Coat Hypertension
and may be caused by fee-
ling anxious or nervous.
