High blood pressure, or #hypertension, often develops without obvious symptoms. That’s why knowing your BP numbers and checking them regularly is important.
📊 What Do Blood Pressure Numbers Mean?
A blood pressure reading has two numbers:
#Systolic pressure – the upper number, showing pressure when the heart beats.=120
* *Diastolic pressure* – the lower number, showing pressure when the heart relaxes between beats.=80
A healthcare professional can help you understand what your reading means for your age and health.
⚠️ Why Can High BP Go Unnoticed?
Many people with high blood pressure may not feel any different. Regular BP checks can help detect elevated blood pressure early.
