The force or pressure of blood pushing against blood vessel walls is measured as blood pressure. When you have hypertension (high blood pressure), your body's blood vessel walls are constantly under too much pressure. Because you might not be aware that anything is wrong, high blood pressure is sometimes referred to as the "silent killer." However, the damage is still being done to your body. The two numbers in your blood pressure reading are. Systolic blood pressure, which appears as the top number, gauges the force exerted on the blood vessel walls when your heart beats or contracts. Diastolic blood pressure, which appears as the bottom number, gauges the pressure on your blood vessels between heartbeats when your heart is relaxing. For instance, a blood pressure reading of 110/70 is considered normal, whereas one of 135/85 indicates stage 1 (mild) hypertension, and so on. Since high blood pressure has no symptoms, a blood pressure cuff test will be required by your healthcare provider. For every annual checkup or appointment, healthcare professionals typically take your blood pressure. Your doctor may diagnose high blood pressure in you if you receive high blood pressure readings at two or more appointments. You can take a few steps to lessen your risk of developing high blood pressure. These include maintaining a healthy weight, exercising appropriately, and limiting salt intake.
