𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 01:
Your brain contains over 100 billion neurons, which are specialized cells that process and transmit information.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 02:
Your brain consumes about 20% of your body's energy, despite only accounting for 2% of your body weight.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 03:
Your brain has the ability to store up to 100 terabytes of information, which is equivalent to the storage capacity of about 20 million hours of music.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 04:
Your brain can process information at a speed of about 200 miles per hour, which is faster than a cheetah.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 05:
Your brain dreams every 90 minutes, and you can have up to 6 dreams per night.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 06:
Your brain processes emotions before logic, which is why you often react emotionally before thinking things through.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 07:
Your brain is capable of reorganizing itself through a process called neuroplasticity, which allows you to learn new skills and adapt to new situations.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 08:
Your brain can process information from all 5 senses simultaneously, which is why you can see, hear, taste, smell, and feel things all at the same time.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 09:
Your brain makes decisions and solves problems unconsciously, which is why you often have "aha" moments when you're not actively thinking about something.

𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕 10:
Your brain is unique to you, and no two brains are alike, which is why you have your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀)

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood throughout your body. It's an essential function that maintains oxygen and nutrient delivery to your organs and tissues.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱?

Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and is typically expressed as two numbers: systolic pressure and diastolic pressure.
- 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿): Representing the pressure when your heart beats.
- 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 (𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿): Representing the pressure between beats.

- 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗵𝘆𝗴𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲
- 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Ensure correct cuff size, sit quietly for 5 minutes before measurement, and avoid eating, drinking, or smoking beforehand

HEMORRHAGIC STROK:

It happens when a blood vessel breaks and bleeds into the brain. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. Causes include a bleeding aneurysm, an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or an artery wall that breaks open.

What can cause a hemorrhagic strok
Uncontrolled high blood pressure.

Overtreatment with blood thinners (anticoagulants)
Bulges at weak spots in your blood vessel walls (aneurysms)

Trauma (such as a car accident)

Protein deposits in blood vessel walls that lead to weakness in the vessel wall (cerebral amyloid angiopathy
