Blood Pressure Monitoring
Blood pressure monitoring measures the force of blood pushing against your artery walls as your heart beats and rests. It provides two numbers: systolic pressure (when the heart contracts) and diastolic pressure (when the heart relaxes). Regular monitoring helps detect hypertension or low blood pressure, guiding treatment and lifestyle adjustments. Devices like digital monitors or manual cuffs are commonly used, with readings recorded for healthcare evaluation. Maintaining normal blood pressure levels is important for overall health, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other complications.
