Nearly one in three Americans have high blood pressure. Yet many go years without ever knowing that they have it. Deemed the 'silent
killer', high blood pressure shows no symptoms or warning signs before inflicting strokes, heart attacks, kidney failure and
even blindness on seemingly healthy individuals. High blood pressure can strike at any time and although it is more prevalent in
African-Americans, it can affect anyone, regardless or age, race or gender. The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to get your blood pressure checked.

High blood pressure is caused by a narrowing of the arteries, a greater than normal volume of blood, or the heart beating faster or more
forcefully than usual. This forces the heart to work harder than it should and leads to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
Although high blood pressure cannot be cured, most cases can be controlled and prevented.

Awareness is crucial. Get your blood pressure checked frequently. Also, keep an eye on your health. The best way to prevent high blood
pressure is to maintain a healthy diet, weight and
lifestyle. This includes getting regular exercise, making healthy food choices (such as avoiding trans fats and fast food) as well as
quitting smoking and cutting down on your drinking. Avoid sodium or salty foods and try to eat more low fat dairy, vegetables and fruits.

If diet and lifestyle changes alone are not sufficient in keeping your blood pressure below 140/90 it is advisable to look into blood
pressure medications. The most common treatments are through diuretics, beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors. There are also calcium channel blockers, alpha-blockers,
angiotensin antagonists, and vasodilators. Discuss the best options available to you with your doctor and remember Canada Pharmacy is here
