Blood Pressure Blood pressure reflects the pressure of the blood in the arteries as it is pumped around the body by the heart. Your blood pressure would fluctuate to meet your body’s needs. However, it is important to manage your blood pressure so that it does not remain high and put stress on your body. The truth is that often there are no signs or symptoms of high blood pressure. In fact, you can have high blood pressure and still feel well. However, don’t let the lack of signs or symptoms fool you. High blood pressure (also known as ‘hypertension’) is a major risk factor of heart disease and can increase your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. For this reason, it is important that you have your blood pressure regularly checked.
