Because Blood Pressure is Silent Until It’s Not.
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a condition where the force of blood against the artery walls remains consistently high, increasing the risk of serious health issues.
Blood pressure is measured as:
-
Systolic (pressure when the heart beats)
-
Diastolic (pressure when the heart rests)
A normal reading is around 120/80 mmHg, while readings above 130/80 mmHg are considered high.
