Blood pressure is a measurement of the force your body puts on blood vessel walls as it travels through your body. Your blood pressure results will be shown as two numbers e.g 120/80.
120 80
Systolic pressure The force your blood puts on the blood vessel walls as your heart pumps. Diastolic pressure The force your blood puts on blood vessel walls when your heart is resting between beats.
For most of us the lower our blood pressure the better with 120/80 being a normal result. High blood pressure poses an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. If your blood pressure is consistently above 140/90 talk to your pharmacist and doctor about your risk factors. Ask your Advantage pharmacist for a blood pressure check today!

Know Your Stroke Risk Stroke can happen to anyone with 1 in 6 people having a stroke in their lifetime. It is vital to know your stroke risk and how to manage it. A stroke occurs when the supply of blood to the brain is suddenly disrupted. Blood may stop moving through your arteries if they are blocked by a clot, plaque or if the artery breaks or bursts. When blood stops flowing, your brain does not get enough oxygen so brain cells in that area die. Some strokes are fatal and other cause permanent or temporary damage and disability. It is important to know that stoke can be prevented and there are many risk factors that you can control including blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking diet, exercise and alcohol intake.
