What Can I do to Cut Back On My Frequent Doctor Visits?
August 30th, 2008 | by admin |Checking and monitoring your blood pressure at home is an important part of managing hypertension. Taking regular measurements with your lifesource blood pressure monitor will help you track your treatments, and help you have better control. Home monitoring can also help cut down on the number of visits that may be necessary to your doctor. The measurements for your blood pressure are in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and it measure the force of the blood against the artery walls as your heart beats (systolic pressure), over the blood pressure between your heartbeats (diastolic pressure). A normal blood pressure is considered to be 120/80, 120 (systolic) over 80 (diastolic). High blood pressure is 140/90, or higher.
