Health Reminder
Hypertension is a dangerous disease that can affect the quality
of life. It can lead to a lot of problems including heart failure,
kidney failure, and cerebral hemorrhaging. By maintaining a
healthy lifestyle and visiting your physician on a regular basis,
hypertension and relative diseases are much easier to control
when diagnosed in the early stages.
Q: What is the difference between measuring blood pressure at
home or at a professional healthcare clinic?
A: Blood pressure readings taken at home are now seen to give a
more accurate account as they better reflect your daily life.
Readings can be elevated when taken in a clinical or medical
environment. This is known as White Coat Hypertension and
may be caused by feeling anxious or nervous.
Note: Abnormal test results may be caused by:
1. Improper cuff placement
Make sure cuff is snug-not too tight or too loose.
2. Improper body position
Make sure to keep your body in an upright position.
3. Feeling anxious or nervous
Take 2-3 deep breaths, wait a few minutes and resume
testing.

Blood Pressure Q＆A
Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls
of arteries. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury
(mmHg.) Systolic blood pressure is the maximum force exerted
against blood vessel walls each time the heart beats. Diastolic
blood pressure is the force exerted on blood vessels when the
heart is resting between beats.
An individual's blood pressure frequently changes throughout
the course of a day. Excitement and tension can cause blood
pressure to rise, while drinking alcohol and bathing can lower
blood pressure. Certain hormones like adrenaline (which your
body releases under stress) can cause blood vessels to constrict,
leading to a rise in blood pressure.
If these measuring numbers become too high, it means the heart
is working harder than it should.
