Getting your blood pressure taken in Cheadle is simple and it’s important to understand why you need to get it checked.
When blood is pumped through the arteries from the heart to the rest of the body, the pressure exerted by the blood when it enters the arteries is called blood pressure.
There can be either high or low pressure. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, occurs when the pressure is high. Such a situation can be extremely dangerous. This is because it can cause significant harm to your arteries and organs. For example, you could suffer a stroke or heart attack as a result of having high blood pressure.
Low blood pressure or hypotension is when the blood pressure is low. Hypotension is sometimes not as dangerous as hypertension. It can, however, cause dizziness which could result in fainting.
