1.3 What do your Numbers Mean?
Blood pressure is the pressure in your blood vessels while blood circulates throughout your body.
High blood pressure or “Hypertension” is the pressure at which ones normal average blood
pressure is considered too high and other health risks including: heart attack, stroke, dementia,
kidney failure, heart disease and erectile dysfunction may occur. It is expressed as two numbers:
systolic/diastolic 120 mmHg/ 80 mmHg (mmHg= millimeters of mercury). “Systolic” numbers
refer to the pressure on the walls of your arteries while the heart is contracting and pushing
blood. “Diastolic” pressure is the lower number when the heart is at rest and relaxed. A
simple way to understand this is to picture a garden hose. When the tap is turned on, the
immediate pressure on the walls of the hose is the “systolic” value, and when the tap is
turned off it is the “diastolic” number.
There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between common
primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter group can be ascribed
to specific organic malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possible
origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
1.4 Normal Blood Pressure Values
Blood pressure is too high when measuring at home and you have rested, the diastolic
pressure is above 85 mmHg or the systolic blood pressure is above 135 mmHg. If you obtain
readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. High blood pressure values over time
can damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the kidney, and your heart.
With blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic values under 105 mmHg or diastolic
values under 60 mmHg), consult with your doctor.
Systolic Diastolic Comment
Below 120
Less than
80
This range is considered “Normal” and ideal.
120 - 139 80 - 89
This range is considered “Pre-hypertension”. Discuss with your health care
professional. Lifestyle modifications maybe required to avoid advancing into
hypertension.
140 - 159 90 - 99
This is in the “Hypertension” range. Discuss with your health care professional.
Medication(s) and lifestyle modifications are typical treatments.
