About Your Blood Pressure

 

As you know, I like to explore all types of topics and information.  Today, we’ll take a quick look at information about blood pressure. First, let’s explore blood and what it does.  ¹Blood has two primary functions.  It delivers oxygen; and carries away carbon dioxide and other waste. ,

²When the heart beats, it circulates blood by pushing it through the blood vessels.  The amount of

pressure involved during the process indicates whether it’s normal, high or low.

High blood pressure can cause damage to the vessels. Low blood pressure means not enough oxygen is getting to the organs and can cause dizziness and other issues.  This was just a quick introduction to the topic and I encourage you to see the resource links below for more information.
