Understanding High Blood Pressure: Simple Steps to Avoid Complications, Reduce Medical Expenses, Decrease Stress and Live a Healthy & Proactive Life
Are you tired of living with high blood pressure and feeling like it has taken over your life? It's time to take control and fix the problem once and for all.
Living with high blood pressure is a daunting task. It feels like you're always walking a tightrope, constantly worrying about the risks of complications and struggling to find the right medications and lifestyle changes that work for you.
If you feel like your condition is limiting your ability to enjoy the things you love – leaving you feeling frustrated, trapped, and uncertain about the future – you are not alone.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of adults in the United States, or 116 million, have hypertension. Of that figure, only about 1 in 4 adults have their condition under control.
Why is this alarming? Because in addition to being known as a silent killer, hypertension is also a silent thief that steals away your peace of mind, leaving you wondering if you will still be able to live a “normal life.”
But there is hope.
With the right tools, knowledge, and support, you can take control of your blood pressure and live the life you deserve.
That's where this book comes in.

Great Resource On High Blood Pressure
This book goes over, in painstaking detail, the reasons why you should keep track of your BP, and ways to lower it. Dr. Sullivan is very thorough in expressing the importance of keeping a normal blood pressure. I liked the chapter on the different types of medications. It’s a nice guide to look up medications my family is on, or medications my doctor wants to put me on. There are a lot of great tips for a healthy lifestyle. Also there are a lot of scary warnings as to what can happen with uncontrolled high BP.
The book is repetitive. I guess to emphasize the points. But that put me off reading the same thing for the fifth time.

Informative
There is a lot to be said for researching and learning about different illnesses. I want to have an understanding at least of the basics.
This breaks down high blood pressure into something that can be understood by a layman. There is explanation of medications and lifestyle changes that was also useful.
Definitely worth picking up if you or a family member has high blood pressure. It increases understanding far more than you get from a simple trip to the doctors office.
