FAQ Blood pressure ASSESSMENT tool
2. What is a blood pressure calculator and how does it work?
A blood pressure calculator is an online tool that helps you interpret your blood pressure readings. Simply enter your systolic and diastolic values, and the calculator will show you which blood pressure category you fall into (normal, elevated, hypertension stage 1, etc.). It can also help you understand the meaning of your readings and what you can do to improve your blood pressure.
2. What blood pressure readings are considered normal?
A normal blood pressure reading is generally below 120/80 mmHg. The „120“ refers to the systolic value (pressure when the heart beats) and the „80“ to the diastolic value (pressure between heartbeats). It’s important to check your blood pressure regularly to ensure it’s within a healthy range.
3. What does high blood pressure (hypertension) mean?
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, means that your blood is pushing against your artery walls with too much force. Over the long term, this can lead to serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. Regular checkups and a healthy lifestyle are important to avoid high blood pressure.
4. How can I lower my blood pressure?
There are many ways to lower your blood pressure naturally. These include eating a healthy diet with low salt, regular exercise, weight loss (if overweight), stress reduction, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. In some cases, medication may also be necessary.
5. How often should I measure my blood pressure?
How often you should measure your blood pressure depends on various factors, including your age, health, and whether you already have high blood pressure. Talk to your doctor for a personalized recommendation. In general, it is recommended that adults have their blood pressure checked regularly, ideally at least once a year.
6. Is a blood pressure calculator a substitute for a doctor's visit?
A blood pressure calculator is a useful tool to understand your blood pressure readings, but it is not a substitute for a doctor’s visit. If you have concerns about your blood pressure or notice unusual readings, you should definitely see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
