Blood Pressure Goals

Do You Know What Your Goals Are?

Many patients with high blood pressure don't have their blood pressure under control. Ask your doctor what your blood pressure goal is. And have your blood pressure taken at your doctor's office to find out if you're at goal or not.

Blood pressure goals are different for different patients. Your doctor will work with you to determine the goal that's right for you at this time. Many factors may be taken into consideration, including other conditions that you may have. Your goals may also change over time. Once your doctor does set a target goal, however, be sure to find out what it is. Knowing your goal is the first step to achieving it.
