Browsing: Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is a critical physiological measurement indicating the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps. It is typically expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and recorded as two values: systolic pressure, which measures the pressure during heartbeats, and diastolic pressure, which measures the pressure between beats. Normal blood pressure levels are generally around 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when these values are elevated, potentially leading to significant health issues like heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Conversely, abnormally low blood pressure, known as hypotension, can cause dizziness and fainting, reflecting inadequate blood flow to organs. Managing blood pressure through lifestyle choices, medication, and regular monitoring is vital for maintaining cardiovascular health and overall well-being.
