Uncontrolled high blood pressure is dangerous and could even lead to death, the American Heart Association says.

The AHA offers these suggestions for controlling high blood pressure:

• Know your numbers and identity your target blood pressure range.
• Work with your doctor to develop a plan to lower your pressure.
• Make lifestyle changes — such as maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, consuming less salt, getting regular exercise and limiting alcohol.
• Keep track of your blood pressure at home.
• Take any blood pressure medication your doctor prescribes.
