Suffer from high blood pressure? See how to track on your cell phone for free!

High blood pressure is the abnormal – and long-term – increase in the pressure that the blood makes when circulating through the arteries of the body. No wonder the disease is also called high blood pressure.

Pressure usually varies throughout the day or depending on the activity performed and the diagnosis of hypertension only occurs when this pressure has a constant of values ​​above 14/9 and is considered severe from values ​​such as 18/12. 

High blood pressure ends up not causing symptoms, so the diagnosis often comes late due to the person discovering hypertension in an emergency care or because they already have sequelae caused by high blood pressure on a constant basis.

Anyone who is not in the habit of having recurring check-ups with a doctor such as a cardiologist and endocrinologist may end up having this late diagnosis. 

If left untreated, high blood pressure can cause several sequelae such as cardiovascular disease and even stroke.

Improving the condition and preventing its sequelae depends on a multifactorial treatment that involves patient behavior, medications, changes in diet and physical activity, in addition to medical follow-up. 

With medical follow-up, it is possible to significantly improve the condition, but for this it is necessary that the patient also has some important information for the consultation and that is where a high blood pressure app can help easily and cheaply.

In this article we separate several options available for both Android and iOS. Check it out soon!
