Understanding the Silent Threat
High blood pressure is often asymptomatic, making regular monitoring crucial. By establishing a standard logging habit, you can identify early trends and consult your cardiologist proactively.
How to Measure Correctly
1. **Rest First**: Sit quietly for 5 minutes before starting the measurement.
2. **Position Properly**: Keep your arm at heart level and feet flat on the floor.
3. **Record Everything**: Log the systolic, diastolic, and pulse rate together in a digital history vault.
