A blood pressure test measures two values: systolic and diastolic pressure, expressed in millimeters of Mercury (mm Hg). The systolic pressure, the higher number, indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic pressure, the lower number, reflects the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. For example, a reading of 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal. Blood pressure categories range from normal to hypertension, with readings above 130/80 mm Hg indicating elevated blood pressure.
