Vital signs are useful in detecting or monitoring health issues and alerting medical professionals to potential concerns. Monitoring blood pressure allows you to assess heart health.
Measuring vital signs is usually the first step in almost every medical evaluation. Doctors use these measurements to better understand how a person’s body is functioning and to detect possible health concerns.
By monitoring a person’s vital signs consistently, such as at every health checkup, a doctor can establish a baseline for that person. Vital signs can then act as early warning flags. For example, a change in a person’s baseline measurements might point to an underlying illness or heart issue that has not yet been diagnosed.
The 4 main vital signs routinely checked by healthcare providers include:
Abnormal blood pressure signals underlying problems (like heart disease) and can lead to a medical emergency (like a stroke). Keeping an eye on your blood pressure can determine if you need to make lifestyle adjustments or require medicinal treatment.
A blood pressure test is a routine part of most healthcare checkups. Blood pressure screening is an important part of general health care.
How often you should get your blood pressure checked depends on your age and overall health.
