Using Apture can really enhance a post; it's the old saying about a picture being worth 1,000 words. Since blood pressure changes throughout the day, it makes sense to measure it at around the same time (or times) every day. Your husband could measure his blood pressure and record the results to bring in for his next doctor's appointment. His doctor would be so pleased and impressed! @Angela, I really appreciate your comment. Stress and family history are both risk factors for high blood pressure, which itself is a risk factor for a heart attack or stroke. So you definitely need to get it checked out! @Jenny, Thank you so much for your comment. Using Apture can really enhance a post; it’s the old saying about a picture being worth 1,000 words.

I've been wondering about my own blood pressure lately. I kept wondering if I might have high blood pressure. I've been under quite a bit of stress lately between working and blogging - I don't have a spare minute. Thank you for this very informative post. High blood pressure runs in my family - this is a good reminder that I should be taking it seriously. P.S. I subscribed to your blog a few weeks ago and I think it's fantastic! Hi Madeleine,

High blood pressure runs in my family and the doctor just advised my husband to monitor his blood pressure so this article was very appropriate and good information for me today! It's good to know that one's blood pressure changes throughout the day. P.S. Love the links and images. Really nicely done!
