Have you been having any problems lately?
No, but the nurse at school says that I should have my blood pressure checked.
Do you have a history of high blood pressure?
No, I have never been told that I have high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it hardly ever has symptoms.
How do you check for high blood pressure?
We are going to use this cuff here, and it will give me a reading.
What do the numbers mean?
They tell me how much your heart is working at rest when pumping blood.
Good. That will help me know how I am doing.
