Blood pressure monitoring is a quick and painless way to maintain your health.
Measuring your blood pressure should be done regularly. It is quick and painless, and it is the only way to know whether your pressure is high. You can check your blood pressure at several of our locations.
Pure Integrative Pharmacy provides free blood pressure monitoring as an essential component to health maintenance.
High blood pressure (HBP), also known as hypertension, can lead to serious health problems by damaging your arteries, heart, and other organs.
Because HBP is often symptomless, its presence often goes unnoticed. Blood pressure is measured using 2 numbers.
The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart rests between beats.
If the measurement reads 120 systolic and 80 diastolic, you would say “120 over 80” or write “120/80 mmHg.”
