Re: Management of mild hypertension in adults

According to Table 1, it seems that most of my non-hypertensive patients now have prehypertension (120-139/80-89)... I am so happy for the few people who don't have it - I think they only have pre-pre-hypertension. (But they all still get the same lifestyle advice, whether prehypertensive or pre-pre-hypertensive...)
