A continuously too high blood pressure should be treated to reduce your risk of having a heart attack or a stroke.
The treatment of too high blood pressure is partly directed at the blood pressure itself and partly at your lifestyle. Broadly speaking, you can say that a change in lifestyle is something you can do yourself while the choice of the medicinal treatment is the doctor’s responsibility.
The doctor can advise you to change your lifestyle and prescribe medication for your blood pressure, but ultimately the result depends on what you choose to do about it yourself.
