3. About Blood Pressure
The World Health Organization (WHO) and Nationl High Blood Pressure Education
Program Coordinating Committee have developed a blood pressure standard, according
to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however,
is a general guideline as individual's blood pressure varies among different people and
different age groups...etc.
It is important that you consult with your
physician regularly. Your physician will tell
you your normal blood pressure range as
well as the point at which you will be
considered at risk.
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with
high blood pressure are by far the most common. High blood pressure's dangerously
strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has made measuring
blood pressures a necessity of identifying those at risk.

Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be over worried if you
encountered two or three measurements
at high levels. Blood pressure changes
over the month and even throughout the
day. It is also influenced by season and
temperature.
