Blood pressure : Yes, you need to get your blood pressure down to a better more safe level. When it is high like it is, you are at a greater risk of stroke, heart attack and if it remains elevated, heart failure and kidney failure can occur. So take your blood pressure medicine as you make lifestyle changes. You will feel better!
