Plus, you’ll get Understanding High Blood Pressure to guide you in managing your blood pressure! In this book, you’ll discover:

• The different types of medications that can manage your hypertension...and how they might interact with foods, supplements, or other drugs you’re taking
• The heart of the matter when it comes to the causes of hypertension is to find out what specific factors might be putting you at risk so you can avoid them
• The underlying medical conditions that can cause your blood pressure to spike (so you can find the right approach to manage your health better)
• Ten questions you need to ask your healthcare provider (when it comes to blood pressure medications, it’s better to be safe than sorry)
