Know Your Blood Pressure Numbers
Do you often wonder what your blood pressure numbers mean? Doctors call them systolic (the top number) and diastolic (the bottom number) blood pressure.
Very usefull article thanks ... keep writing such articles :) I'm so happy bcoz you are write this post for everyone thnxx a lot
Knowing both is important and could save your life.
What Does the Systolic Blood Pressure Number Mean?
When your heart beats, it squeezes and pushes blood through your arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates pressure on those blood vessels, and that's your systolic blood pressure.
A normal systolic pressure is below 120.
A reading of 120-129 is elevated.
130-139 is stage 1 high blood pressure (also called hypertension).
140 or more is stage 2 hypertension.
180 or more is a hypertensive crisis. Call 911.
What Does the Diastolic Blood Pressure Number Mean?
The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen.
Readings
A stethoscope identifies the precise point when the pulse sound returns and the pressure of the cuff is slowly released. Using the stethoscope enables the person measuring the blood pressure to listen out for two specific points.
Blood pressure readings consist of two figures - the systolic pressure first and the diastolic pressure second. The reading is given as, for example, 140 over 90 mmHg.
The systolic pressure is the higher figure caused by the heart's contraction, while the diastolic number is the lower pressure in the arteries, during the brief 'resting' period between heartbeats.

The National Institutes of Health cite normal blood pressure to be below 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic.
However, blood pressure changes naturally, a fact that is best described in a quote from cardiologists writing about blood-pressure variability in a paper published by Nature in March 2013:
