What is blood pressure? Blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts on the arteries. It is thanks to this pressure that blood circulates in our blood vessels. If it is excessive, we speak of hypertension. This condition has no particular symptoms, but it can lead to serious consequences, such as stroke, heart attack and heart failure. For this reason, it is important to measure blood pressure periodically. When should you measure blood pressure? Blood pressure values ​​can fluctuate throughout the day. So at what time should you measure blood pressure? The reference value is usually the one obtained in the morning. In any case, before starting the measurement, you should always rest for at least 15 minutes. You should avoid eating, drinking alcohol and coffee, smoking and playing sports for at least 30 minutes before the measurement. How often should you measure blood pressure? The frequency of measurements is generally prescribed by your doctor in the event that there are pathologies that require it. However, blood pressure should be measured with a certain regularity even by those who are perfectly healthy, at least once a year. How should you measure blood pressure? The measurement should be taken sitting with your feet flat on the floor, your back straight and your arm resting on a table at the same height as your heart, with your palm facing up. It can also be taken lying down, but it is more difficult to do alone. What is the unit of measurement for blood pressure and how do you read the measurement results? At the end of the measurement, the diastolic or minimum and systolic or maximum pressure values ​​will appear on the display. The unit of measurement is the millimeter of Mercury. Most blood pressure monitors also detect the number of heartbeats per minute. This Omron blood pressure monitor detects another very important parameter, that is, the presence of irregular heartbeats that could be due to the presence of cardiac arrhythmia or Afib. If the presence of arrhythmia is detected, you should contact your doctor. What blood pressure values ​​are considered normal? The blood pressure values ​​considered optimal are 80 for the minimum and 120 for the maximum. Hypertension is when the minimum values ​​are above 90 and the maximum values ​​are above 140. The reverse condition in which the pressure is too low, i.e. hypotension, occurs when the minimum is below 60 and the maximum below 90.
