Since we are away we wanted to give you an oldie but a goodie! 

We demystify blood pressure with clear examples, practical thresholds, and simple steps for accurate home readings, then connect the numbers to real risks for the brain, heart, and kidneys. We end with a preview of lifestyle changes and meds to manage hypertension well.

• what systolic and diastolic numbers represent 
• how to think about normal vs elevated readings 
• why diagnosis needs repeat measurements over time 
• when home readings matter more than office numbers 
• the organs most harmed by uncontrolled pressure 
• common risk factors including age, tobacco, alcohol, obesity, sodium 
• how to take accurate measurements at home 
• tracking data, choosing the right cuff size, staying calm 
• next steps: lifestyle changes and medications
