A blood pressure reading of 122/66 mmHg indicates a systolic pressure of 122 mmHg (pressure in the arteries when the heart beats) and a diastolic pressure of 66 mmHg (pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats). This reading falls within the normal range for blood pressure.
BP 80P typically refers to a specific type of blood pressure measurement, indicating a reading of 80 mmHg for diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. The "BP" stands for blood pressure, while "80P" signifies the diastolic value. In a complete blood pressure reading, it would usually be accompanied by a systolic value, such as "120/80 mmHg," where 120 represents the systolic pressure.
Pulse pressure can be calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. For example, if someone's systolic blood pressure is 120 mmHg and their diastolic blood pressure is 80 mmHg, their pulse pressure would be 40 mmHg (120 - 80).

Pre-hypertension is when you blood pressure reading for consecutive monitoring has been within the borderline limit of hypertension and normal.
A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). The systolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. The third number, if present, is the pulse pressure, calculated by subtracting the diastolic pressure from the systolic pressure. This number gives an indication of the force the heart generates with each contraction.

Pre-hypertension is when your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg. You do not have high blood pressure but are considered at risk for hypertension.
The measurement between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure. It is calculated by subtracting the diastolic blood pressure from the systolic blood pressure. Typically, a healthy pulse pressure is around 40 mmHg, but this can vary depending on individual factors.
mmHg is a unit measuring pressure. 1mmHg=133.32Pa
You can find out if you have high blood pressure by having your blood pressure checked regularly. Most doctors will diagnose a person with high blood pressure on the basis of two or more readings, taken on several occasions. A consistent blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher is considered high blood pressure, another term for hypertension.
Typical human blood pressure is 120/80, or 120 mmHg systolic pressure/80 mmHg diastolic pressure.
