One out of three adults in the U.S. has high blood pressure. Since blood pressure usually has no symptoms, you can have it for years without knowing it. During this time it can damage the heart, blood vessels, kidneys, and other parts of the body. This is why knowing your blood pressure numbers is important even when you're feeling fine. Join Lutheran Home Care & Hospice to learn measures to control your blood pressure. more info
