Blood Pressure: Understanding, Monitoring, and Managing Your Numbers
The definition of blood pressure is the volume or amount of pressure that is applied or exerted to the arterial walls as the blood passes through them. It is measured in MMHG or millimetres of mercury, two measurements are taken systolic and diastolic.
Systolic: The measurement of pressure applied/exerted after the heart beats pushing blood throughout the body.
Diastolic: The measurement after the heart is resting in between a heartbeat.
Both measurements are taken in millimetres of mercury or MMHG, the first figure that you get is the figure followed by the diastolic pressure.
If you have a reading of 120/80 MMHG it means that your systolic pressure is 120 MMHG and your diastolic pressure is 80 MMHG. Watch for the signs of high blood pressure.
High pressure is also known by the medical term hypertension, the definition of high pressure/hypertension is a sustained blood pressure reading of 140/90 MMHG or above, most medical people would agree that normal pressure for a normal healthy person is close to 120/80 MMHG or less than 130/80 MMHG.
