Description:

Dr. Suzanne Oparil, a noted cardiologist, reviews a quiz about high blood pressure, or hypertension. Just because your family does not have a history of high blood pressure, you can still get high blood pressure. Being African American does make you higher risk for hypertension. As you get older, the risk of developing high blood pressure gets higher.

High blood pressure is a killer and it can happen whether you are thin or fat.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. It seemed to happen out of the blue. I am on medication called Toprol. This happended as I got older. My diet, alcohol intake etc. is under control. However, I find that this worries me greatly. My cardiologist is not as concerned as I wish he were.
