A simple way to measure pressure when you don't have a tonometer at hand.

The lifestyle of a modern person contributes to the deterioration of his health. Pressure is the first sign that problems have already appeared.

Everyone knows perfectly well that the normal pressure in an average person is 120/80 mm Hg.

To find out exactly what pressure is normal for you, you should measure it regularly for at least a week.

Measurements should be taken in a calm state, and not after heavy physical exertion or nervous experiences.

When blood pressure changes, a person begins to feel some discomfort.

The pressure can rise or fall. There are such emergencies in the life of every person when you have no one or nothing to measure your blood pressure.

What to do in this situation?

There are some signs by which we can determine whether blood pressure has increased or decreased:

- pulse is directly related to pressure. You can measure the pulse without special devices, just take the watch and put your finger on your hand, feeling for the blows.

With increased pressure, the pulse will be faster, more than 90 beats per minute.

Moreover, he will be firm and tense. No matter how you press on the artery, it does not disappear, but is palpable very well.

With reduced pressure, the opposite is true: the pulse is rare, less than 60 beats per minute. It is necessary to press harder on the artery and it is hardly palpable.

- headache is always present when the pressure level changes. By the nature of the pain, you can find out whether the pressure has increased or decreased. At high pressure, the pain is pulsating and concentrated in the temples. The person feels nauseous.

With low pressure, the head hurts in the back of the head. The person feels weak, drowsy and dizzy.

These symptoms cannot tell you the exact pressure, but they will help you determine whether to take pills for low or high blood pressure.

It is very important not to aggravate your condition by taking the wrong medication.

I wish you health and long life!
