Blood pressure: how to understand if everything is fine with you?

🩺 Blood pressure is one of the key indicators of cardiovascular health. Normally, it should be close to 120/80 mm Hg, but these indicators can change depending on age, time of day, or even your mood.

🤔 What affects blood pressure during the day?

• Physical activity: during exercise, blood pressure can increase, but after rest it returns to normal.
• Stress: emotional stress can cause a jump in blood pressure.
• Nutrition: excessive salt, caffeine, and insufficient water intake.
• Time of day: blood pressure can be higher in the morning due to the activation of hormones

⏰ When should you see a cardiologist?

• If your blood pressure regularly exceeds 140/90 or drops below 90/60 mm Hg.
• You experience headaches, dizziness, or constant fatigue.
• There is swelling of the extremities or shortness of breath with minimal exertion.
• You notice irregular heartbeat or chest pain.

Measure your blood pressure regularly at the same time, in a calm state. This will help you notice changes and avoid serious complications.
