Managing your high blood pressure:
Make certain that you have an adequate amount of your high blood medication on hand. If you should forget to take your high blood pressure medication, most physicians recommend taking it as soon as possible.
Reducing the amount of salty foods (sodium) and avoiding adding salt to your food will help lower your blood pressure.
Reducing your intake of coffee, sodas, energy drinks and potato chips will also aid in lowering your blood pressure.
