Top number is the systolic. For example 120/80 120 would be your systolic number.

Systolic pressure and Diastolic pressure
That is a very good BP. Congratulations☺
The systolic and diastolic BP should never be truly equalized as the difference it the actual result from the function of the heart as it pumps. When the pressure equalizes the heart is no long able to function properly usually due to fluid build up.
"BP is indirectly indicated by intensity or exertion levels. The systolic BP is expected to rise because of the increase in cardiac output. Diastolic BP is expected to remain equivalent to resting levels or decrease during exercise indicating an increase of vasodilation and an opening of the capillary beds." (Collegetermpapers)
What does the BP numbers mean? The number on the top is the systolic blood pressure and the number on the bottom is the diastolic blood pressure. The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.
Crossing the legs at the knees can cause an increase in systolic BP as well as a smaller increase in diastolic BP. Crossing the legs at the ankles does not have a significant impact on altering BP.
Both high diastolic and high systolic blood pressure are dangerous and can contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. High systolic pressure is typically associated with a higher risk of heart attack and stroke, while high diastolic pressure can also lead to organ damage, such as in the kidneys. It is important to monitor and manage both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels to reduce the risk of complications.
A blood pressure of 90/22 means that the machine might have some problems or the person is feeling really tired, weak, dizzy and fainting, or the person might be in a coma or death. 90/22 is serious hypotension (low blood pressure). "90" is the systolic BP and "22" is the diastolic BP.The systolic BP is the pressure in the arteries right when the blood is pumped out of the heart, therefore the pressure is bigger. The diastolic BP is the pressure in the arteries after the blood has been pumped out and before the next heart contraction. At this moment, the heart is relaxed and the pressure is much lower.The optimal BP is 120/80. The low normal is 90/60 and the high normal is 140/90.
Blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg is normal. Low blood pressure is a top number reading lower than 90 or pressure 25 mmHg lower than usual. Moderate to severe high blood pressure is a top number 160 or over or the bottom number of 100 or over.
telmisartan lowered both systolic and diastolic BP to a greater extent than did valsartan
