Is your blood pressure in the healthy range?

Blood pressure tells us how hard your heart is working and how healthy your arteries are. Knowing your numbers can help prevent serious problems like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.

Check your category:
• Normal: Less than 120/80
• Elevated: 120–129 / less than 80
• Stage 1 Hypertension: 130–139 or 80–89
• Stage 2 Hypertension: 140 or higher, or 90 or higher
• Severe Hypertension: Higher than 180 and/or higher than 120 (no symptoms) — call your doctor
• Hypertensive Emergency: Higher than 180 and/or higher than 120 with symptoms — seek emergency care immediately

Symptoms to watch for: chest pain, shortness of breath, back pain, numbness, weakness, vision changes, or difficulty speaking.

Take your blood pressure regularly. If your numbers are high, see your doctor for advice on management and treatment.

Get your blood pressure checked at least once a year and understand what the numbers mean. Severe high blood pressure combined with symptoms such as chest pain or trouble speaking may be a hypertensive emergency, according to the new high blood pressure guideline, and you should call 911 immediately.

Ankylosing Spondylitis is a type of arthritis that affects the spine.

Here’s what you need to know:
• AS often starts in your lower back or buttocks.
• Morning stiffness lasting over 30 minutes is common.
• Pain improves with movement, not with rest.
• It affects more men than women, usually before age 45.
• Over time, untreated AS can fuse parts of your spine.

Watch for these signs:
• Ongoing lower back pain that wakes you up at night.
• Pain that lasts for more than 3 months.
• Red, painful eyes (uveitis) in some patients.
• Family history of similar symptoms.

Early diagnosis helps you avoid long-term damage.
