Blood Pressure checks
Getting a blood pressure check is a routine health test. It’s good to know if you have high or low blood pressure as an overall measure of health.

What is a blood pressure check?
A quick check of blood pressure can establish if you have:
- hypertension (high blood pressure), considered 140/90mmHg or higher.
- hypotension (low blood pressure). Considered 90/60mmHg or lower
- normal blood pressure in a range of 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg
Its actually hard to know without testing as there aren’t a lot of symptoms. However, hypertension can cause serious health concerns later such as a stroke or a heart attack.
If you have ongoing blood pressure concerns and NZ GP will suggest to monitor blood pressure with regular checks.
Can dizziness be a sign of low blood pressure?
Low blood pressure has more telltale signs that high blood pressure. The symptoms that make most people seek urgent care are:
- dizziness, or
- fainting
- nausea
Actually, low blood pressure is not generally an indicator of serious illness. It can be brought on:
- if you lost a lot of blood following an injury or surgery
- during the 1st and 2nd trimesters of pregnancy
- due to a long term condition like a heart condition or in some cases diabetes
- dehydration
- allergic reaction or anaphylaxis: accompanied by breathing problems or itching
- a severe bacterial infection or Septic shock
- vitamin deficiencies (such as Vit B) later causing anaemia
Getting a blood pressure test at East Care
Its not uncommon for us to take your blood pressure during a medical consultation.
It’s simple to have a check:
- first, we’ll ask a few questions
- then we’ll get you to roll up a sleeve and slip on the cuff
- next, we fill the cuff with air, and it will feel tight. The first number is the systolic pressure which reads your heart pushing blood out
- breathe easy and relax while we take the reading
- The cuff will release and this will tell us the diastolic pressure
