How do I know if I have high blood pressure?

Condition analysis:
High blood pressure is often called "the silent killer" because it usually has no symptoms.

Some people may not find out they have it until they have complications that affect their heart, brain, or kidneys.

The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked regularly by your doctor or health care provider. Most doctors will check your blood pressure several times on different days to get repeated readings before deciding whether you have high blood pressure.

Instructions:
Potato: Potatoes have been found to be very beneficial for patients with hypertension, especially potatoes boiled with peel. The peel prevents absorption of salts, making it a salt-free diet for patients. Also, potatoes are rich in calcium and magnesium, which makes it an excellent remedy to lower blood pressure.

Parsley: Parsley is rich in nutrients that help to maintain blood vessels healthy and protect the capillaries. Regular intake of parsley in liquid form (mixed with water) can strengthen the heart muscles. It is a good home remedy to treat hypertension.
