Reduce your salt intake and BMI to stop prehypertension from becoming high blood pressure.

Persistent daytime drowsiness could be a sign that you’re not getting restful sleep, possibly because of sleep apnoea, which can be associated with hypertension.

Low blood pressure (hypotension) can be a sign of serious heart conditions such as valve defects, abnormal rhythm or even heart attack.
