Williamsburg Seniors Stay Safe With Blood Pressure

February 23, 2018
It is very important for Williamsburg seniors to stay aware of their blood pressure numbers because of hypertension. Also called the “silent killer,” hypertension is extremely dangerous because there are no warning signs or symptoms. The first step you need to take towards blood pressure safety, is to schedule an appointment with your doctor. Together, you can learn your numbers, and put a plan of action towards heart health if necessary. When you, a Williamsburg senior, develops high blood pressure, their arteries are not working at 100%,  resulting in your heart working overtime, therefore wearing out faster.
