Understanding High Blood Pressure
Let’s put it in dramatic terms: if high blood pressure were a character in a story, it would be the quiet neighbor who turns out to be a serial killer. It’s subtle, gives no nasty warning signs, and by the time it makes its move, it’s probably too late to prevent any damage. Now, perhaps […]
