π©Ί Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Key to a Healthier Heart
Blood pressure monitoring is one of the most essential steps in maintaining cardiovascular health. Whether you are managing a medical condition or simply aiming for a healthier lifestyle, regularly checking your blood pressure can save your life.
π What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps. It is measured using two values:
-
Systolic pressure (the higher number): the pressure when the heart beats.
-
Diastolic pressure (the lower number): the pressure when the heart rests between beats.
A normal blood pressure reading is typically around 120/80 mmHg.
β οΈ Why is Blood Pressure Monitoring Important?
High blood pressure (hypertension) often shows no symptoms but can lead to:
-
Heart disease
-
Stroke
-
Kidney failure
-
Vision loss
-
Cognitive decline
Low blood pressure (hypotension) can cause:
-
Dizziness or fainting
-
Fatigue
-
Blurred vision
By monitoring your blood pressure regularly, you can detect abnormalities early and take action.
