commit to a
plan to lower your blood pressure
The best way to avoid the consequences of high blood pressure is to commit to the treatment plan you make with your doctor. Make sure you talk with your doctor to create a blood pressure treatment plan that works for your life.
If there
are things that are keeping you from sticking to your plan, such as your hectic schedule, the cost of medication, your habits, or motivation, talk to your doctor about ways to overcome these barriers. Be clear with your doctor about any of your
concerns and be sure to get all the answers you need.
The High Blood Pressure Worksheet below provides a structure of what to do before, during and after your appointment to help you create a personalized high blood pressure treatment
plan with your doctor.
