Why should I measure my blood pressure?

being overweight or of the arteries beginning to

stiffen, which increases the risk of blood clots,

among other things. It is therefore a good idea to

keep an eye on your blood pressure and consult a

doctorifitseemsunusuallyhighorlow.Youshould

write down your measurements so you can show

them to your doctor.
