That does seem very odd. It couldn't hurt to go see your doctor. Best wishes.
If your top number is 140 or more then you have very high blood pressure, regardless of your bottom number - your apparatus is faulty
Resting Blood Pressure: Diastolic (blood filling into atrium of heart) is the top number Systolic (blood pumping from atrium into ventricles of heart) is the bottom number
Yes this is considered a high blood pressure. The ultimate blood pressure should be 120/80 or 120 over 80. However, to be considered a person who may have hypertension you must have 3 days in a row where your blood pressure is elevated. Bottom number shouldn't be over 90 and top number shouldn't be over 140.
I usually have a high systolic blood pressure number and a low diastolic number. My question is that a bad High Blood Pressure reading
The top number in the blood pressure fraction is the Systolic pressure, or the amount of pressure put on the walls of the arteries during the contraction and ejection of blood from the left ventricle. The bottom number is called the Diastolic Pressure and it means the lowest pressure in an artery in the moments between beats when your heart is resting.
Yes, this would be considered high. You really don't want the systolic, or top number to be above 130. When you start getting into the 140's you have hypertension or high blood pressure. The diastolic or bottom number is fine. You don't want that one going over 90.
Itis just at the bottom of the stage 1 high blood pressure chart.
The blood pressure is kinda low and the diastolic number is very low. Normal blood pressure for a healthy man is 120 over 80. If your blood pressure has been like this your entire life then that may be normal for you.
A blood pressure reading of 140 over 78 is considered elevated. The top number (systolic pressure) is at the high end of the normal range, and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is within the normal range. However, it is still important to monitor and possibly make lifestyle changes to prevent it from increasing further.
systolic pressure when ventricals are contracting while during diastole they are in relaxed state
90-190 for the top 60-75 for the bottom
Systolic pressure (The top number) represents the pressure created during contraction of the left ventricle. Diastolic pressure (The bottom number) represents the pressure within the vascular system while the heart is at rest. Typical blood pressure range for an adult is: 110 to 140 (systolic) over 60 to 80 (diastolic)
