Understanding Blood Pressure Readings
It's important to know your blood pressure numbers, as they may indicate that you have high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. Your blood pressure can be read by two numbers, the American Heart Association states, “Your blood pressure is recorded as two numbers: Systolic blood pressure (the first number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls when the heart contracts. Diastolic blood pressure (the second number) – indicates how much pressure your blood is exerting against your artery walls while the heart muscle is resting between contractions.” Click here to learn more.
