Signs to watch for: 💔 Unexplained fatigue 💔 Mild discomfort in the chest, back, or jaw 💔 Shortness of breath Early detection is key, so don’t ignore the subtle signs!

Interesting facts about blood pressure. BUT I think doctors love scaring the bejaysus out of people. Somebody mentioned calibration of machines and the user of the blood pressure monitor. Both are true! The machine in the pharmacy isn't calibrated. Also I am only an over the counter sales assistant but have been trained in operating the machine.
