Understanding Your Heart Numbers
High blood pressure requires regular monitoring. Our experienced pharmacists can help you understand how to take your blood pressure at home, what the numbers mean, and what to do in case of an emergency. Having a clear plan for what to do in case of a spike or dip in blood pressure will ease the worry of your loved ones. Be sure to have a written copy of this plan in places that can be easily seen around your home and keep a copy on your person. It’s important to be prepared!
Quitting Smoking
Quitting smoking lowers many health risks including the risk of heart disease. There are many tools that your pharmacist can provide you with to help you quit. Making the choice and then following through with it is one of the best decisions you could make about your heart health. Has you or someone you love been diagnosed with coronary heart disease? If they are smokers, then quitting reduces the following items:
Risk of premature death
Risk of death from heart disease
Risk of having the first heart attack or another heart attack
Matters of the heart are not to be taken lightly. Taking care of your heart helps to ensure you can continue to share your love with others. Don’t skip a beat, schedule a Heart-to-Heart with your Texas Rxsolutions and Compounding Pharmacy Pharmacist today!
