Your journey to a stronger heart starts here.
Next Steps
"High blood pressure is sometimes called the 'silent killer.' Most people with high blood pressure don’t have any symptoms. Because many people feel fine, they don’t think they need to get their blood pressure checked. Even if you feel normal, your health may be at risk. Talk to your doctor about your risk for high blood pressure." - CDC
