What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries. It is measured using two values:
- Systolic Pressure: The pressure when your heart beats.
- Diastolic Pressure: The pressure when your heart rests between beats.
A normal blood pressure reading is generally considered to be below 120/80 mmHg.
