Yes it is. What can I do about it? You need to take blood-pressure lowering tablets

every day. Is that all?

No. You should also eat a low fat diet. All right, I'll try.

It's a good idea to make some lifestyle changes. You should try to exercise a bit more.

OK. I'll take the dog for a walk every day. Finally, check your blood pressure every week.

Uh huh. I've got a small blood pressure machine at home so I can do that.
