BLOOD PRESSURE INFORMATION

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.
