Blood Pressure Checks

Why is it important to monitor your blood pressure?

Some experts call it the silent killer. High blood pressure (hypertension) most often has no symptoms. A significant number of people who have it might not realize it.

Untreated high blood pressure can damage organs over time and lead to stroke or heart disease. Because our pressure changes constantly depending on what we are doing, experts recommend people at risk or people who already have high blood pressure closely monitor it, either weekly or even daily.
