WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of your blood vessels
as blood flows through them.
The heart is like a pump. When it contracts. or beats, it sends a
surge of blood through the blood vessels and pressure increases.
This is called systolic pressure.
When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure
decreases.
This is diastolic pressure.
When a doctor takes your blood pressure, he or she measures
both your systolic and diastolic pressures and records them as
numbers. For example, if your blood pressure reading is 126/76(126
over 76), your systolic is 126 and your diastolic is 76. The numbers
are calculated in millimeters of mercury and recorded as 126/76
mmHg.
