10 REALLY Good Reasons to Take Your Blood Pressure Medicine

 Good Reasons to take your Blood Pressure medicine:


High blood pressure is called the ‘silent killer’ because most people have no symptoms and so they don’t know when their blood pressure is high.

Most people on dialysis are either there because of high blood pressure or diabetes or both.

A stroke can cause blindness, paralysis and death and it tends to come without warning.

Your heart can only beat so many times against high pressure and then it gives out.

There is no such thing as blood pressure that cannot be controlled.

A normal blood pressure is a pre-requisite for a long and healthy life.

Your chances of staying independent as a senior are much better if you take care of your blood pressure when you are younger.

High blood pressure causes blindness even without a stroke.

Over 90% of people who take blood pressure medicine have no side effects.

Blood pressure medicines are generally very reasonably priced, if your doctor has you on one that’s too expensive request it be changed. You get a lot of bang for your buck when you treat your blood pressure.
