    Quit smoking. Nicotine patches, gums, or sprays and prescription medications, along with support groups, can make kicking the habit easier.

    Check your blood pressure at least once a year, more often if your doctor says to. Follow his instructions about taking medication if you need it.

    Tell your doctor about any blood-clotting problems you or a close family member has had.]]>     2018-04-19 17:45:04 UTC https://padlet.com/331330/fzhb7uh9i5up/wish/253557787     331330 https://padlet.com/331330/fzhb7uh9i5up/wish/253560941 2018-04-19 17:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/331330/fzhb7uh9i5up/wish/253560941
