Blood Pressure

We tested our blood pressure today, we did this by using our teachers blood pressure monitor, the perfect value for our age group is 120/80 whereas mine was much higher at 142/76. My systolic was mild stage 1 whereas my diastolic was normal. if your blood pressure becomes to high or too low you can become dizzy,faint and nauseous. We then tested our blood pressure after 1 minute of exercise, my pressure was 160/83 which means my blood pressure is very high because it is in stage 2 of the high blood pressure chart.

  1. Good write up of the blood pressure recording before and after activity, this goes towards criteria P2 and M2
