blood pressure

The 24 hour blood pressure check is much more useful than the home monitors which are often inaccurate and lead to a great deal of anxiety.
It is important to establish whetjher you have hypertension as then you can take steps to lower the pressure-firstly without using drugs and if this fails you can take medication which in almost all cases will lower it.One rarely finds a treatable cause for this problem.
If you ignore raised blood pressure it will catch up with you in the coming years.
