The ideal numbers for a healthy blood pressure reading are less than 120. Anything above 120 is considered high blood pressure and one should immediately see a doctor.

What does the high number of blood pressure stand for?

The larger of the two numbers in a blood pressure reading is the "systolic" reading. The lower number is the "diastolic." The systolic reading measures how hard the heart pumps when it contracts; whereas the diastolic reads the pressure when the heart relaxes.


What does the 3 numbers blood pressure reading mean?

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.


My blood pressure is 98 over 55 and my pluse is 62min is that low?

98/55 with a pulse of 62 beats a minute is a healthy heart. That is an almost excellent blood pressure. You actually want to keep your numbers around that to have a good blood pressure. Remember to still eat healthy... Lots of fruits and veggies to keep your numbers good. Dr. J. Deese


Does blood pressure rise when there is exertion?

Your circulatory system maintains pressure in your arteries and your heart pumps against it. Blood pressure numbers reflect your arterial pressure when your heart pushes blood through your system, and also when your heart rests between beats. The "active" pressure is the top number on your blood pressure reading. It is the "systolic" pressure. The "passive," or "resting," pressure is the bottom number, and represents the "diastolic" pressure. Healthy blood pressure numbers are 120 systolic over 80 diastolic, or slightly lower Blood pressure changes throughout your day, depending on your position, your anxiety level, and your activity level. Chronic high blood pressure increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, but temporary increases in blood pressure allow you to meet the demands you put on your body when you exercise. Without adequate pressure, your blood delivery system fails. so,yes !!
