Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime.
However, you can prevent and control high blood pressure by taking action.
So if you're an adult and your blood pressure is 140/90 mm Hg or above, you have hypertension - high blood pressure - and are at risk of developing heart disease and/or kidney disease and other medical problems. We recommend that you visit a health professional to check your blood pressure and learn how to manage it.
In this section, you will learn more about what high blood pressure is and what effect it has on the body. You will also discover how the regular practice of Vedic Meditation can help you to minimise the use of prescription medications - and the life long side effects. However, we do not advise, nor condone the reduction of any medication without the prior approval of your health professional.
