Treatment for high blood pressure

Once a person knows he has high blood pressure, he should work with his doctor to treat it.  Healthy lifestyle behaviors such as exercising and losing weight (if you need to) may improve your blood pressure. Many prescription blood pressure medicines are available for treating high blood pressure.  A person should never stop taking his prescribed blood pressure medicine without his doctor’s approval.  More information about high blood pressure (hypertension) can be found at WebMd http://www.webmd.com/hypertension-high-blood-pressure/guide/default.htm
