   From a high blood pressure reading to stroke prevention

   Draft, not clinically reviewed

   A suggested order for reading this atlas, for an adult who has been told they have a high blood pressure reading, and for their family. It starts with what a reading and a diagnosis mean, goes through measuring at home and on a device you can check, then medicines, salt and stroke, and ends with prevention and questions to take to your care team. It is not medical advice and it does not cover pregnancy.
