🩸 Understanding Blood Pressure – Causes, Symptoms, and Control

 🧠 What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and shown with two numbers:

Systolic Pressure (Upper number): Pressure when the heart beats.

Diastolic Pressure (Lower number): Pressure when the heart rests between beats.

A normal blood pressure reading is 120/80 mmHg.

⚠️ Types of Blood Pressure

1. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):

When your BP is higher than 140/90 mmHg.

It can damage arteries and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.

2. Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension):

When your BP drops below 90/60 mmHg.

It can cause dizziness, fainting, and weakness.
