Treating your high blood pressure

Blood pressure is the measure of how hard your blood pushes against the walls of your arteries as it moves through your body. When blood pressure is too high, it can damage your blood vessels, heart, and kidneys. Although high blood pressure usually can’t be cured, there are two ways it can be controlled: daily medicines and lifestyle changes. For some people, lifestyle changes—like losing weight, being active, and limiting sodium and alcohol—might be enough to lower blood pressure. If these healthy habits aren’t enough to bring your blood pressure down or if you have other health issues, you may need to take medicines. Use this interactive guide to compare your options and decide which treatment is right for you.
