Episode Four discusses hypertension.  Hypertension is elevated blood pressure and is responsible for sickness and death of many Americans through strokes, heart attacks and kidney failure.  

In this medical episode, I discuss what normal blood pressure is and what hypertension is. I further explain both non-medical and medical ways to control the blood pressure.  

Hypertension affects millions of Americans and forty percent (40 %) of African Americans in particular.  

Here's to improved health.
