C. About Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows
through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart contracts and
sends blood out of the heart is systolic (high pressure). The pressure
measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is
called diastolic (low pressure).
Why Measure Your Blood Pressure?
Among the various health problems today, problems associated with high
blood pressure are very common. High blood pressure’s dangerously
strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases has made measuring blood
pressure become more important than ever.
Blood Pressure Classification Chart
The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a blood pressure
standard, according to which areas of low and high-risk blood pressure are
identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline as individual’s
blood pressures vary among different people and age groups, etc.

C. About Blood Pressure
It is important to consult your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you
your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be
considered at risk.
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be worried if you get two or three measurements at high
levels. Blood pressure changes over the month and even throughout the
day. It is also influenced by season and temperature, personal condition,
etc.
