If you have high BP, you will know
You must have noticed that people who have high BP problems live very comfortably. The easiest way to know this is to keep getting regular checkups. However, if you do not pay attention to it, the matter can become serious.
The problem of high BP occurs only in the elderly

I'm fine, I don't need medicine
The doctor told that even if you are feeling well, you will still have to take the medicine. If you stop taking the medicine without consulting a doctor, it can be fatal.
High BP can be controlled with home remedies
Exercising and having a healthy diet is considered good for health but in many cases you need medication. Only your doctor knows what is good for you and what is not.
If one number is normal then it is okay
Both the upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) numbers of blood pressure are important. High numbers of either are a sign of danger.

There is no need to check BP again and again if it is normal
The doctor said that the problem of high blood pressure can change with time. For this, it is very important to get regular checkups done. This way the disease can be detected in time.
