How have you been feeling lately?
I've been feeling a little light-headed lately.
Has your blood pressure been high before?
If I have high blood pressure, it is news to me.
Usually people with high blood pressure have no symptoms, so we call it the silent killer.
What do you use to check for high blood pressure?
I am going to put a cuff on you to get a reading.
What does the reading tell you?
I get an idea of the pressure in your arteries when your heart is pumping blood versus at rest.
I hope that the test results show me to be really healthy.
