A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is the force exerted
on the walls of your blood vessels as
blood flows through them.
Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts,
or beats, it sends a surge of blood through
the blood vessels and pressure increases.
This is called your systolic pressure.
When your heart relaxes between beats,
your blood pressure decreases. This is
called your diastolic pressure.

When a doctor takes your blood pressure,
he
or she measures both your systolic and
diastolic pressures and records them as
numbers. For example, if your blo
od
press
u
re
reading is 126/76 (126 over
7
6), your sys
tolic
is 126 and your diastolic is 76.
Th
e numbers
are calculated in millimetres of mercury
an
d
r
ec
or
ded as
126/76 mm Hg.
