It is very important to maintain a NORMAL
RANGE of blood pressure. Blood pressure
does not stay constant. For example,
high blood pressure (systolic over 140mmHg
an diastolic over 90mmHg) can be
"stable"... but high blood pressure is a
risk factor for heart attack, brain
insult, kidneys’ failure, blindness etc.
Low blood pressure (systolic under 90mmHg
and diastolic under 60mmHg) can also be
"stable" and can cause problems (syncope)
but not that serious as high blood
pressure.
