In collaboration with

Logotyp Feelgood

Protect Your Heart!

Feelgood and Blodtrycksdoktorn are here to help you take control of your health by monitoring your blood pressure. As a Volvo Cars employee, you have the opportunity to:

  • Measure your blood pressure on-site – Visit one of our convenient temporary measurement stations at Volvo Cars workplaces.

Regular blood pressure checks should be as routine as servicing your car, visiting the dentist, or celebrating your birthday—something you do every year.

It only takes 10 minutes to measure your blood pressure—a small step that can prevent heart and vascular diseases.

More about high blood pressure

What is high blood pressure?

High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your blood vessels is consistently too high. This puts extra strain on your heart, requiring it to work harder to pump blood throughout your body.

How blood pressure is measured

Blood pressure is recorded using two values:

  • Systolic pressure: The higher number, representing the pressure in your blood vessels when the heart contracts and pumps blood.
  • Diastolic pressure: The lower number, indicating the pressure in your blood vessels when the heart is at rest between beats.

Blood pressure categories

  • Normal blood pressure: Systolic below 120 mm Hg and diastolic below 80 mm Hg.
  • Elevated blood pressure: Systolic between 120–129 mm Hg with diastolic below 80 mm Hg.
  • Hypertension (high blood pressure): Systolic of 130 mm Hg or higher, or diastolic of 80 mm Hg or higher.

 

Lowering your blood pressure brings you benefits here and now!

By keeping track of your blood pressure and taking necessary steps if needed, you can prevent serious cardiovascular diseases. High blood pressure can be effectively managed with medication and lifestyle improvements.

Small changes in your daily routine—like regular physical activity, stress management, and a balanced diet—not only help lower your blood pressure but also improve your overall quality of life, both today and in the future.
