How To Reduce High Blood Pressure?
My husband is 51 years old and has high blood pressure which he takes medicine to control. His blood pressure has been high recently even with medication. It just registered 232 over 101. We recently lost our health insurance so I'm having a hard time getting him to go see his doctor. What are the risks?

You may have stroke or coronary events at that bp.so don't waste time urgently reach the hospital and take treatment. first control your bp then according to your doctor's advice set the dose of drugs.
