Doctors measure blood pressure with a cuff that squeezes the arm.
It rises and falls during the day, for example when you exercise or feel excited.
A healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet and low salt, helps keep blood pressure in a healthy range. Children usually have lower blood pressure than adults, and regular check-ups can help catch any problems early.
