One In Six Effected
One in every six persons
has it.
It can strike the young,
old; black, white; man,
woman and child. If you are
over 50, black, on the pill or
pregnant, your chances of
having it are even greater.
High blood pressure or
hypertension is a serious
disease affecting more than
23-million Americans and
the lives of their family and
friends. Yet many
Americans have it and do
not know it. Many others
know they have it, but do not
have it under control.
If left uncontrolled, high
blood pressure may lead to
stroke, heart disease or
kidney damage. It claimed
more than 20.000 lives last
year alone.
Most high blood pressure
cannot yet be cured. But we
do know that high blood
pressure can be treated and
controlled. If you have high
blood pressure but have
your condition under con
trol, you can live a normal,
long and healthy life.
To help you understand
how high blood pressure can
be controlled, here are four
important facts:
FACT: If you have high
blood pressure, you will
probably have this condition
throughout your life. But
your life can be a long and
healthy one, if you follow
your physician’s prescribed
treatment. Your blood
pressure may go down and
stay within a normal
range, but the treatment
plan you follow each day
keeps it down.
FACT: People with high
blood pressure usually have
po symptoms. You can feel
fine, look healthy and still
have high blood pressure.
Headaches and dizziness do
Pot necessarily mean your
blood pressure is high.

corps, flag corps, and drum
line. The band members
drilled eight hours a day
under the leadership of
many outstanding in
structors.
The Holmes Band group
was distinguished by having
two of its members
recognized at an awards
program. Vanessa Spivey
received the top flag award,
and Eric Strother received
the future drum major
award.
To keep “feeling fine,”
high blood pressure
treatment must be followed
every day, not only when
“symptoms” appear.
FACT: Hypertension does
not mean being more tense
or upset. Hypertension
means high blood
pressure—too much
pressure against your blood
vessel walls while the heart
pumps Mood throughout the
body. If you do not have high
blood pressure and you
become tense or upset, your
blood pressure can go up—
but it will come down again.
If you have high blood
pressure, it can come down
only with daily treatment.
FACT: Your prescribed
blood pressure medicine
cannot be exchanged for
another kind of therapy. If
you are taking prescribed
medication and your doctor
advises in addition low-salt
diet and more exercise,
these added therapies alone
cannot take the place of
your pills. They may,
however, greatly reduce
your need for medicine.
If you or someone you
know has high blood
pressure, they can avoid
needless health risks by
resuming or continuing
medical treatment. Suc
cessful and continued
treatment means a
healthier life for someone
you know— a friend, your
family or you.
