A member asked:

What to do if my blood pressure iss very high its been like this for months now it its not coming down. how can i reduce it?

You can't alone: You can't do it by yourself. Only close cooperation between you and your doctor will be successful. You can help by buying a BP cuff and keeping track of it at home, avoiding excess salt in your diet, and taking all your prescribed medicines faithfully and on schedule.
