A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure is the force on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them. Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, pressure increases (systolic pressure). When your heart relaxes blood pres-sure decreases (diastolic pressure). When a doctor takes your blood pressure, he or she measures both your systolic and diastolic pressures and records them as numbers.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the following Blood Pressure Classification. This classification, however, is only a general guideline because blood pressure varies from person to person according to age, weight, and health status. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN TO DETERMINE YOUR NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE.
