At one time or the other we had suffered from it either momentarily or permanently. The risk is when it is permanent and not well managed.

Will try and take in each case for us to learn some lessons.

Only the living can learn especially if you are healthy.

The fact is some life time modifications can go a long way to improve our blood pressure health. If we know and also act consistently on time.

The only way to know your blood pressure status is regular check up. As a monster it behaves the way it likes, most often without any sign until it strikes when it reaches the peak.

For normal person without any Previous risk , once a month is recommended.

It is easy, very accessible most cases it is free or very cheap or you can equally buy a blood pressure monitor if you can afford.

The most regrettable risk of high BP is that it does not show any sign or feeling. One feels very OK and normal, yet it can kill.
