Health Education: Here Are Some Certain Things You Need To Know About ‘Blood Pressure’

 

Health is wealth, that is why it is important you have some certain knowledge about health education.
Today, Blood Pressure is what we will be analysing.

Blood pressure
Blood pressure is the measure of the force of blood pushing against blood vessel walls. The heart pumps blood into blood vessels, which carry the blood throughout the body.

 

High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is dangerous because it makes the heart work harder to pump blood out to the body and contributes to hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis, to stroke, kidney disease, and to heart failure.

 

Blood pressure reading

A blood pressure reading is written like this: 120/80. It’s read as “120 over 80.” The top number is called the systolic, and bottom number is called the diastolic.

Ranges of blood pressure reading

Normal: Less than 120 over 80 (120/80)
