A blood pressure reading measures the pressure from your blood on your arterial walls while your heart is pumping. A healthy blood pressure is below 120/80 mm Hg. If you have low or high blood pressure, speak with a healthcare professional. They could help develop a treatment plan to help you manage your levels and lower your risk of developing complications.

Blood pressure is one indicator of a person’s heart health. If the pressure is too high, it can lead to serious health complications and potentially death. Though not all causes of elevated blood pressure are preventable, a person can reduce their risk of complications by managing their lifestyle and minimizing risk factors for developing high blood pressure. Anyone concerned about high or low blood pressure should speak with a doctor. 🔗 Learn more about how to read a blood pressure chart here: https://bit.ly/40LzQFz

Today is National Wear Red day. Throughout the month of February OCPS employees wear red to raise awareness about heart disease.

Did you know?

1 in 3 women die from heart disease each year.

Symptoms in women can be subtle—like extreme fatigue, nausea, or jaw pain, not just chest pressure.

Most of these events are preventable if we know our numbers (Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, and BMI).
