It means that you are in danger and immediately consult a doctor. Allowing this continuously can lead to Kidney failure
The systolic pressure is the upper number, while diastolic is the lower number.His diastolic pressure climbed to 120 in a blood pressure of 220/120.The woman's diastolic blood pressure fell with a large gap between the systolic and diastolic pressures.
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) is the mean of pressure you would obtain if you took measurements in several intervals during the cardiac cycle. Ex. systolic pressure + 2x Diastolic pressure/3 120/80= 120 + 2(80)/3= 93mmHG ( approximately)
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?
A normal diastolic blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 80 mmHg. Diastolic blood pressure measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats. High diastolic blood pressure can be a sign of underlying health issues, such as hypertension.
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure
Systolic under 120, Diastolic below 80
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.
There are two values. The first should be about 120; the second should be about 80. Don't worry unless you are at least 20 different from those values (100/60 or 140/100). And even then don't worry, but visit a doctor for a checkup. Systolic/Diastolic pressure should be about 120/80.
Resting blood pressure for a male (optimum) is 120/70. It will be elevated after exercise or a stressful event.
Blood pressure measurements are a combination of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Ideally, blood pressure should be under 120 in the systolic measurement and 80 in the diastolic measurement, commonly notated as 120 over 80.
It depends on the reference book you're looking at, but usually 120/80 systolic/diastolic.
60-80 diastolic. 90-120 stystolic.
