A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure is the force on the walls of your blood vessels
as blood flows through themꢀ
Your heart is like
a
pumpꢀ 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 numbersꢀ
The more difficult it is for your blood to flow through your blood vessels, the higher both
numbers will beꢀ When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called hypertension
(high blood pressure)ꢀ
Your blood pressure changes constantlyꢀ Blood pressure changes from day to day and minute
to minute according to your body’s needsꢀ
One or two readings will not determine your normal blood pressureꢀ It is very important to take
regular, daily measurements and to keep accurate recordsꢀ In partnership with your doctor,
an accurate record of your blood pressure over a period of time can be a valuable aid in
diagnosing and preventing potential health problemsꢀ
