Healthy Lifestyle Habits What would be a healthy weight for me?
Senior
Is there a diet to help me lose weight (if I need to) and lower my blood pressure?
Lifestyle
Is there a recommended healthy eating plan I should follow to help lower my blood pressure (if I don’t need to lose weight)? Is it safe for me to start doing regular physical activity?
Medications What is the name of my blood pressure medication? Is that the brand name or the generic name? What are the possible side effects of my medication? (Be sure the doctor knows about any allergies you have and any other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and dietary supplements.) What time of day should I take my blood pressure medicine? Are there any foods, beverages, or dietary supplements I should avoid when taking this medicine? What should I do if I forget to take my blood pressure medicine at the recommended time? Should I take it as soon as I remember or should I wait until the next dosage is due? The information on High Blood Pressure was developed for NIH Senior Health by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute at NIH. www.nihseniorhealth.gov
