[speaker001:] Have you been having any problems lately?
[speaker002:] No, but the nurse at school says that I should have my blood pressure checked.
[speaker001:] Do you have a history of high blood pressure?
[speaker002:] No, I have never been told that I have high blood pressure.
[speaker001:] High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it hardly ever has symptoms.
[speaker002:] How do you check for high blood pressure?
[speaker001:] We are going to use this cuff here, and it will give me a reading.
[speaker002:] What do the numbers mean?
[speaker001:] They tell me how much your heart is working at rest and when pumping blood.
[speaker002:] Good. That will help me know how I am doing.
