What if your blood pressure is 161 over 82 what does that mean?

Answer 1

151 is the systolic pressure , which is the amount of pressure in mm of Mercury against the walls of the arteries when the heart beats, the 58 is the same for when the heart is at rest, or between beats. 151/58 may mean you have slightly high BP, you took it at a time when it was higher than normal like after smoking, or you did not know how to take it correctly. If it is constantly elevated you need to adjust your diet, exercise and consider seeing your MD.
