Blood pressure is a key indicator of cardiovascular health, measuring the force of blood against artery walls. Keeping it in check helps reduce the risk of heart disease, New Zealand’s biggest killer.
Understanding Blood Pressure – Know Your Numbers!
What’s a Normal Blood Pressure Reading?
A healthy blood pressure is typically around 120/80 mm Hg, but individual targets may vary. Regular monitoring is essential for early detection of hypertension (high blood pressure), which can lead to serious complications like heart attacks and strokes.
What Do Your Numbers Mean?
Systolic (top number) – Pressure when your heart contracts
Diastolic (bottom number) – Pressure when your heart relaxes
High readings mean your heart is working too hard, increasing your risk of complications. Our pharmacists can help interpret your results and provide guidance.
