Understanding blood pressure and cardiovascular health

High blood pressure often has no symptoms. Feeling well does not establish that blood pressure is normal. Assessment, measurements and a treatment plan are more useful than selecting a product based on a symptom label.

Recognize an emergency

Severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness, vision changes or problems speaking need urgent medical attention. Call 911 for a suspected medical emergency. Do not use a wellness booking as emergency care.
