| This Week's Tip How often you should check your blood pressure
When was the last time you had a blood pressure screening? Uncontrolled blood pressure can increase the workload of your heart, as well as harden and thicken the arteries, making it harder for blood to pass through. According to the AHA, high blood pressure coupled with other risk factors like obesity, smoking, high cholesterol or diabetes increases the risk of heart attack and stroke several times over.
In many cases, high blood pressure can be controlled through lifestyle changes and medications. If you can't remember the last time your blood pressure was checked, set up an appointment today. Adults should get screened every two years or more often if already diagnosed with hypertension or other heart risk factors.
