Leaking when you laugh, cough, or exercise
Pelvic pain or pressure
Pain with intimacy
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery
Core weakness and back pain

You don’t have to “just live with it.” Help is available—and it can make a huge difference in how you feel day to day.

CPR can save lives. For adults and teens, Hands-Only CPR can double or even triple chance of survival.

Hands-Only CPR has two simple steps, performed in this order:
Step 1: Call 911 immediately if you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse. Step 2: Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of a song with 100 beats per minute (i.e., “Staying Alive”).

We can’t always choose when an emergency strikes — but we can choose how ready we are to face it.

One in three American adults has high blood pressure, and only about half of them have it under control.

How can I control my blood pressure?
Work with your health care professional to make a plan for managing your blood pressure. Be sure to follow these guidelines:
• Eat a healthy diet. Choose foods low in trans fat and sodium (salt). Most people in the United States consume more sodium than recommended.
o Everyone age 2 and up should consume less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day.
o Adults age 51 and older; African Americans of all ages; and people with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease should consume even less than that: only 1,500 mg of sodium per day.
• Get moving. Staying physically active will help you control your weight and strengthen your heart. Try walking for 10 minutes, 3 times a day, 5 days a week.
• Take your medications. If you have high blood pressure, your health care professional may give you blood pressure medicine to help control it. It’s important to follow your health care professional’s instructions when taking the medication and to keep taking it even if you feel well. Tell your health care professional if the medicine makes you feel bad. Your health care team can suggest different ways to reduce side effects or recommend another medicine that may have fewer side effects

High blood pressure is the leading cause of heart attack and stroke in the United States. It can also damage your eyes and kidneys. One in three American adults has high blood pressure, and only about half of them have it under control.
How is blood pressure measured?
Two numbers (for example, 140/90) help determine blood pressure. The first number measures systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart beats. The second number measures diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the blood vessels when the heart rests between beats.
When and how should I take my blood pressure?
Take your blood pressure regularly, even if you feel fine. Generally, people with high blood pressure have no symptoms. You can take your blood pressure at home, at many pharmacies, and at your doctor’s office.
