High blood pressure (also called hypertension) is a serious illness that affects nearly 65
million adults in the United States. High blood pressure is often called a "silent killer"
because many people have it but don't know it. Over time, people who do not get
treated for high blood pressure can get very sick or even die. One in three adults has
high blood pressure.

Taking your blood pressure daily and documenting it on a blood pressure log is a good
way to manage your high blood pressure and even save your life. Not keeping track of
your blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke or kidney damage. Our blood

It's a perfect reference during your medical checkup.
When taking your blood pressure there will be a systolic and a diastolic number. Always
remember the systolic is the top number and is the pressure when the heart pushes
blood out into the arteries. The second number is the diastolic pressure, or the
pressure when the heart rests. Try to think of diastolic as a (D) for down meaning
lower number reading.
