Blood pressure is a measure of the force exerted by blood against the walls of your blood vessels. It's measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and consists of two numbers: systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure represents the force when the heart contracts, while the diastolic pressure represents the force when the heart is at rest between beats. Normal blood pressure is typically around 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure (hypertension) can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health issues. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, managing stress, and, if necessary, taking medication as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Regular check-ups can help monitor and manage blood pressure effectively
