It is a reading using a blood pressure cuff that gives you two numbers, the top being 'systolic' and the bottom being 'diastolic'. The systolic pressure is achieved when the left ventricle is pumping blood out into the body, the diastolic blood pressure is achieved when the left ventricle is relaxing.
A "normal' blood pressure is 120/80. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is over 140 systolic or over 90 diastolic. Disease states may dictate different goals for blood pressure.
Blood pressure is also called systemic arterial pressure and is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the arteries. Blood pressure is calculated in mmHg or millimeters of Mercury by measuring resting pressure and forceful pressure.
Blood pressure is measured by a quick, painless test using a medical instrument called asphygmomanometer. A rubber cuff is wrapped around a person's upper arm and inflated. It compresses a large artery in the arm, momentarily stopping the blood flow. Then the air in the cuff is released and the person measuring the blood pressure listens with a stethoscope. When the blood starts to pulse through the artery, it makes a sound. The person listening and watching the sphygmomanometer gauge records two measurements.
Blood pressure is measured in a fraction form: x/y, where x is the systolic pressure, or pressure when the heart is beating and y is the diastolic pressure, or the pressure when the heart is at rest. normal blood pressure is considered to be 120/80 inches of mercury (in Hg.) The difference in these two numbers is the pulse pressure, which is basically how hard your heart is working.
Blood pressure is measured with a device called a sphygmomanometer.
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. If you have high or low blood pressure there is a medicine to lower or maintain good blood pressure.
can i take q10 with my high blood pressure medicine
no you can not take theraflu if you have high blood pressure and diabetes.
is ok to take tamiflu with high blood pressure
NO. It can cause you blood pressure to rise.
Yes you can, but be sure to monitor your blood pressure. Phentermine does increase the blood pressure. If your blood pressure increases consult your doctor and your blood pressure medicine may be able to be modified.
hahahahahahahah u have high blood pressure!!!!!!!!!!!!
can i take q10 with my blood pressure medicine
No, you should not take Gaba with any kind of blood pressure medication. This is because Gaba is linked to lowered blood pressure and your blood pressure could get too low.
I take high blood pressure medication,and now i have headaches can i still take sensa ??Thank you,Dorothy Davis
