Hi..... Making healthy lifestyle changes can help reduce your chances of getting high blood pressure and help lower your blood pressure if it's already high..... Some people with high blood pressure may also need to take one or more medicines to stop their blood pressure getting too high..... The medication recommended for you will depend on things like how high your blood pressure is and your age......
