It is important to know your blood pressure information because having high blood pressure can increase your risk for life-threatening illnesses. Heart disease and stroke are both linked to having high blood pressure. The only way to measure your blood pressure is to have it checked with a blood pressure cuff, which thankfully is quick and painless!
