What Blood Pressure Means
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps blood around your body.
Systolic Pressure
This is the top number. It shows the pressure when your heart beats and pumps blood.
Diastolic Pressure
This is the bottom number. It shows the pressure when your heart rests between beats.
When to Seek Medical Attention
If your reading is above 180 systolic or above 120 diastolic, it may be a hypertensive crisis. Rest for a few minutes and check again. If it remains very high or you have chest pain, shortness of breath, severe headache, weakness, or vision problems, seek emergency medical care.
