Vital Signs

Vital signs are measurements that provide essential information about your body’s basic functions and overall health. They typically include body temperature, heart rate (pulse), blood pressure, and respiratory rate (breathing rate). These signs help healthcare providers assess how well your body is functioning and detect possible health issues. For example, a high fever might indicate infection, a rapid heart rate could suggest stress or illness, and abnormal blood pressure might point to cardiovascular problems. Monitoring vital signs is a quick, effective way to gain insight into your health status and guide medical decisions.
