vererõhul

Vererõhul, also known as blood pressure, is the force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries as the heart pumps it around the body. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is recorded as two numbers: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure is the higher number, representing the pressure when the heart beats and pumps blood. Diastolic pressure is the lower number, representing the pressure when the heart rests between beats.

A normal blood pressure reading is generally considered to be around 120/80 mmHg. Blood pressure that is consistently higher than normal is called hypertension, or high blood pressure, and can increase the risk of serious health problems such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney problems. Blood pressure that is consistently lower than normal is called hypotension, or low blood pressure, and can sometimes cause symptoms like dizziness or fainting, though it is often not a cause for concern unless it leads to these symptoms.

Several factors can influence blood pressure, including age, genetics, diet, physical activity level, stress, and certain medical conditions. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and managing stress, can help keep blood pressure within a healthy range. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is important, especially for individuals with risk factors for hypertension or hypotension.
