May is Hypertension Awareness Month. Know your numbers and protect your heart.

According to the American Heart Association, a normal blood pressure is 120 over 80 mmHg. High blood pressure, or hypertension, stars at 130 over 80 or higher. Hypertension often has no symptoms which is why checking your blood pressure regularly and knowing your numbers is so important.

Southern West Virginia Health System encourages you to protect your heart health and check your blood pressure before the end of this month.
