1. UNDERSTANDING BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood pressure readings are reported as two values (numbers).
The top value (number) is the maximum pressure the heart exerts
while beating (systolic pressure). The bottom value (number) is
the amount of pressure in the arteries between beats (diastolic
pressure).
The blood pressure values should be within the normal range
in order to prevent long-term complications due to high blood
pressure.
Blood pressure values (numbers) of less than 120/80 mmHg
are considered within the normal range. If higher values
are consistently observed, please consult your healthcare
professional.
Never use the result of your measurements to alter the drug
doses prescribed by your doctor.
