What is blood pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. It is measured in the form of a fraction. The top number refers to the systolic pressure and the bottom number refers to the diastolic pressure.
Systolic pressure is measured as the heart contracts to pump out blood. Diastolic pressure is measured as the heart relaxes to allow blood flow into the heart.
A person’s blood pressure will vary depending upon such factors as stress, physical activity, general health, emotions, cardiovascular fitness and medications being taken.
