B: No, but the nurse at school says that I should have my blood pressure 
checked.
A: Do you have a history of high blood pressure?
B: No, I have never been told that I have high blood pressure.
A: High blood pressure is called the silent killer 1 because it hardly ever 
has symptoms. 
B:How do you check for high blood pressure?
A:We are going to use this cuff 2 here, and it will give me a reading.

blood.
