Maintaining your health is a lifelong journey, and one critical aspect of that journey is monitoring your blood pressure. But why is it so important?
What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of your arteries. It’s measured in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg) and expressed with two numbers: systolic (the pressure when your heart beats) over diastolic (the pressure when your heart rests between beats). Normal blood pressure should be around 120/80 mm Hg.
Why Regular Checks Matter
Many people may not experience noticeable symptoms of high blood pressure (hypertension). In fact, it is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it can lead to severe health issues like heart disease and stroke without any warning signs. Regular blood pressure checks can help catch any issues early, allowing you and your healthcare provider to take proactive measures.
