Blood Pressure Control | Healthmad
Chances are the first thing that happens in your doctor’s office is the nurse wraps a blood pressure cuff around your arm. It’s a simple test with no pain involved but it’s a very important test. As blood runs through your arteries, it places pressure on the artery walls. If the pressure is too high, the arteries will stretch and tear. The scar tissue then forms a substance called plaque, leading to blockages. If it isn’t kept under tight control, you will be at risk for heart attack, stroke, heart attack and kidney failure.
