    How can I care for someone with high blood pressure?

    In addition to taking the medication prescribed by your physician and following proper diet and exercise, I find it very helpful for my patients to have a home blood pressure cuff. These can be picked up at most pharmacies. Keep a log of your home blood pressure readings and show the log to your physician

    What makes a good primary care physician?
    Just like every individual, each doctor has a unique personality. A good primary care physician must be competent, available, and caring, but must also have a personality that is compatible with yours.   Full Post

    Can weight loss lower high blood pressure?

    Absolutely. Weight loss, exercise, and proper diet are all good ways to help bring down your blood pressure. I encourage all of my patients to start by walking for 10-15 minutes per day. Slowly increase the duration and speed of the walk over time as able.

    How should I approach weight loss after having a baby?

    The first step is to stay active. Pushing a stroller around the block for 30-45 minutes per day will help with your energy level and help with weight loss. Any exercise that is fun and relaxing will be much easier to stick with than strict exercise regimens that you don't enjoy.
