Why Should I Get My Blood Pressure Checked?

High blood pressure (also called hypertension) is often called the “silent killer” because it rarely shows symptoms, but it can do serious damage if left untreated. Keeping tabs on your blood pressure helps reduce your risk for:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Kidney problems
• Vision loss

At AFC NE Portland, we provide fast, reliable screenings and walk you through your results so you know what steps to take next.

What Do My Blood Pressure Numbers Mean?

Blood pressure is measured with two numbers: systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number). Here’s what your results could indicate:

• Normal: Less than 120 / Less than 80
• Elevated: 120–129 / Less than 80
• Stage 1 Hypertension: 130–139 / 80–89
• Stage 2 Hypertension: 140+ / 90+
• Hypertensive Crisis: 180+ / 120+ — Seek emergency care

Even slightly elevated numbers can increase your risk for heart disease over time, so it’s important to check in regularly, especially if you’re over 40 or have a family history of hypertension.

What Can I Do to Lower My Blood Pressure Naturally?

If your blood pressure is high or borderline high, there are simple steps you can take to bring it down:

• Maintain a healthy weight
• Exercise regularly
• Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
• Cut back on salt and processed foods
• Limit alcohol and caffeine
• Quit smoking
• Find ways to manage daily stress
