What is Hypertension care?
It involves self-care (exercise, stress management, sleep, heart-healthy low-sodium diet, healthy weight, reduced alcohol, smoking cessation, home BP monitoring) and potentially medication. -
What are the vital signs and their normal parameters?
Vital signs indicate crucial bodily functions like pulse, respiratory rate, body temperature, and blood pressure. Normal ranges vary but for average resting adults are: Blood pressure: 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg; Breathing: 12-18 breaths/minute; Pulse: 60-100 beats/minute; Temperature: 97.8°F-99.1°F (36.5°C-37.3°C). -
How to measure blood pressure accurately?
Avoid eating/drinking 30 mins prior, empty bladder, sit comfortably with back support for 5 mins, feet flat, arm rested at chest height, cuff snug on bare skin, remain quiet. Measure daily at the same time, taking at least two readings 1-2 minutes apart. -
What is the normal lab value of blood pressure?
A normal blood pressure level is less than 120/80 mmHg. -
What is systolic and diastolic blood pressure?
Systolic (first value) is the pressure during a heartbeat; Diastolic (second value) is the pressure between heartbeats. A reading of 120/80 mmHg means systolic is 120 and diastolic is 80.
