Hypertension is essentially high-blood-pressure. (HBP) The best way to monitor is to test their blood pressure about an hour after taking their medication and then later on during the day to make sure it is in normal range. It can be too low after taking their medication or too high if the medication isn't working right. People whose blood pressure is too high appear to be red in the face and neck region usually. Taking the right medications and eating a diet recommended by their doctor is the best way to control HBP.
