Daily Care

Tips at Home

Practical day-to-day tips to keep recovery on track and make your daily care safer at home.

Build a calm daily routine — meals, medications, rest, and gentle activity at the same times each day. Note any changes and share them with your healthcare providers.

  • Home BP: same arm, seated, feet flat, rest 5 minutes; log AM and PM.
  • Take BP medicines at the same time daily; do not skip a dose.
  • DASH-style eating: more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains.
  • Use herbs, citrus, and spices instead of heavy salt at the table.
Watch Closely

What to Watch For

Knowing the signs early means quicker comfort and safer days.

  • Record systolic and diastolic numbers, pulse, and any symptoms with each reading.
  • Report headache, vision changes, chest pressure, or new swelling in legs or feet.

Good to know

  • Hypertension is sustained high pressure against artery walls.
  • Often called silent because most people feel no symptoms.
When to call: Sudden pain, trouble breathing, high fever, or confusion — call your nurse or doctor. Call 911 for emergencies.
Stay Strong

Stay Strong & Steady

Wellness habits that keep you moving, balanced, and independent at home.

Small steps add up: one stretch, one balanced meal, or one short walk can brighten the whole day.

  • DASH-style eating: fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
  • Limit processed foods, canned soups, and salty snacks.
  • Check pressure at home and bring the log to appointments.
  • Sleep seven to eight hours when possible; poor sleep can affect BP.
