Blood pressure is a measurement of the force applied to the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. The pressure is determined by the force and amount of blood pumped, and the size and flexibility of the arteries.
Blood pressure is continually changing depending on activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, physical state, and medication use.
We provide free blood pressure checks Monday through Friday at KCHD from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
