on Your Blood Pressure |
|
|
|
Your blood pressure is two numbers, such as 130/80 (one-thirty
over eighty). Both are important. The first number is the pressure
as the heart beats and pushes blood into the blood vessels. The
second number is the pressure when the heart rests between beats
and the vessels relax.
High blood pressure raises your risk for a heart attack or stroke.
It also adds to your risk for eye problems and kidney disease.
Target blood pressure for people with diabetes: below 130/80.
How often to get my blood pressure checked: at every visit.
