Using the Blood Pressure Apparatus ABN, how is blood pressure measured?
The two figures that represent blood pressure are measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg):
• Systolic pressure: the force produced by your heart pumping blood out
• Diastolic pressure: the force experienced by your heart during a heartbeat
For instance, if your blood pressure is “140 over 90,” or 140/90 mmHg, it indicates that your diastolic pressure is 90 mmHg and your systolic pressure is 140 mmHg.
As a general rule:
• It is generally accepted that the ideal blood pressure range is 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg.
• A blood pressure measurement of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high.
• A blood pressure of 90/60 mmHg or less is regarded as low.
Unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking, binge drinking, being overweight, and not getting enough exercise are all linked to high blood pressure. If left untreated, high blood pressure can raise your chance of developing several chronic, serious health issues, including kidney and coronary heart disease.
Low blood pressure is less typical. Low blood pressure is a side effect of some medications. Numerous underlying illnesses, such as heart failure and dehydration, can also be the cause of it.
One easy way to determine if your blood pressure is too high or too low is to get a blood pressure test.
• The force that your blood exerts on the walls of your arteries as it is pumped throughout your body is known as blood pressure.
• Your arteries and other organs may be strained by high blood pressure (hypertension), which raises your risk of experiencing significant issues like heart attacks and strokes.
• Although it can occasionally result in dizziness and fainting, low blood pressure, or hypotension, it is not usually as dangerous.
• Since most people won’t have any apparent symptoms, the only way to determine if your blood pressure is too high or too low is to get a blood pressure test. Tests are simple and have the potential to save lives.
