My doctor says this in within the normal range. We've been working on getting my diastolic down from 110. The normal range is 60-80.
My systolic reading has been around 157 - but she didn't seem quite as worried at this reading. With a little adjustment in my medication 2 weeks ago; this morning it read 132.

Why does any increase in the heart rate affect diastolic time more than systolic time?
You have long diastolic time as compared to systolic time. So diastolic time is more compromised than systolic time.
How is blood circulation measured?
systolic/diastolic measured by blood pressure cuff
How do you calculate pulse pressure?
PP= SP - DS Pulse Pressure is equal to Systolic Blood Pressure minus Diastolic Blood Pressure.
What do the 2 numbers in blood pressure represent?
The first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is contracting. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure when the heart is relaxing.
120 over 80 blood pressure what is the first number?
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
What is good systolic pressure?
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
Is the lub systolic or diastolic?
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
Which comes first diastolic or systolic dysfunction?
systolic
Normal range for diastolic and systolic blood preassure diastolic 110 for systolic 71?
The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
Does coronary perfusion occur in the systolic or diastolic phase.?
Diastolic
Where will one find diastolic blood pressure on a meter?
Blood pressure has both diastolic and systolic readings on a meter. The expected readings of a healthy individual are below 120 for systolic and under 80 for diastolic. Diastolic measures the resting moments between beats while the systolic measures the beat. On the meter, systolic is the upper number and diastolic is the lower one.
Why does any increase in the heart rate affect diastolic time more than systolic time?
You have long diastolic time as compared to systolic time. So diastolic time is more compromised than systolic time.
Rapid potassium infusion causes diastolic or systolic cardiac arrest?
Rapid potassium infusion causes diastolic and not systolic cardiac arrest.
What is more dangerous high diastolic or high systolic?
Having a high systolic bp is more dangerous than high diastolic bp.
What is the systolic and diastolic pressure of the aorta?
The systolic and diastolic pressures are the pressure exerted against the artery walls. This will vary from person to person. There is no one answer to your question.
What does it mean when systolic and diastolic pressures are close together?
Your heart is about to explode and you die
If your blood pressure reads 128.58?
The first number would be your systolic, meaning the pressure in the vessels as the heart contracts, then the next number would be t he diastolic, when the heart is at rest. The average blood pressure is around 120 over 90.
