BLOOD PRESSURE AND IT'S EFFECTS

Your heart pumps blood to all parts of our body. The rate at which the heart pumps blood
is measured by the blood pressure machine and even by placing your thumb on  the wrist
at the pressure point. The normal pressure is
120/80 . The top number is systolic (120) the lower is diastolic  (80).Fluctuation in the above readings indicate high or low BP.

Fluctuations vary due to various factors like age, tension , body weight ,lifestyle , family  history etc.  BP is a common defect these days.
Most of us are loaded with all kinds of worries

in the chest or maybe the head..the blood pressure activates the thumping in your body.
