"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.
