If you have a history of high blood pressure or are concerned about your blood pressure, regular blood pressure checks are recommended.
Hypertension is associated with being overweight, smoking, stress, low vitamin D levels, low potassium levels and other lifestyle factors. The primary result of long-term hypertension is strain on your cardiovascular system including your heart which will increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Sometimes, the doctor will also recommend a full blood profile test to check your cholesterol, kidney and liver function. Management can include lifestyle changes and medication. Subsequent regular testing can be provided at a reduced fee after discussion with the clinic manager.
Regular blood pressure testing is crucial for the early detection of hypertension (high blood pressure), a condition that often has no symptoms but can lead to serious health problems if left untreated.
By identifying and managing high blood pressure early, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other complications associated with hypertension.
For those already diagnosed with hypertension, regular blood pressure testing is essential to monitor the effectiveness of ongoing treatment, whether it involves lifestyle changes, medication, or both.
The current statistics highlight the widespread impact of hypertension and the critical importance of regular blood pressure testing for early detection, prevention of complications, and effective management of the condition.
Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood against the walls of the body’s arteries, the major blood vessels in the body. It is a vital sign and is expressed as two measurements: systolic (the pressure when the heart beats) and diastolic (the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats). Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is given as systolic over diastolic pressure, such as 120/80 mmHg.
Normal blood pressure maintains a steady flow of blood through the body, supplying organs and tissues with oxygen and nutrients. However, high or low blood pressure can be indicative of underlying health issues and requires medical attention.
