What to expect from your doctor Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask: Do you have a family history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure or heart disease? What are your diet and exercise habits like? Do you drink alcohol? How many drinks do you have in a week? Do you smoke? When did you last have your blood pressure checked? What was your blood pressure measurement then? What you can do in the meantime It's never too early to make healthy lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, eating healthy foods and becoming more physically active. These are primary lines of defense against high blood pressure and its complications, including heart attack and stroke. |
