"Most people have a rise in the upper number, systolic blood pressure, starting around age 40." Raymond Townsend, M.D.
About 7% of Americans have high blood pressure, defined as blood pressure that is 140/90 or higher, and even dangerously high blood pressure can have no symptoms. Healthy lifestyle changes can work as well as a pill, and include cutting back on salt, eating more fruits and vegetables, losing weight, and physical activity. Breathing deeply and slowly can temporarily lower blood pressure.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
