What is the top number of blood pressure called?
In blood pressure nomenclature, where blood pressure is denoted xxx/yy, "xxx" is called the systolic blood pressure, whereas "yy" is called the diastolic blood pressure. A normal average blood pressure is 120/80, across the population. Yours may be slightly higher or lower than this average.
120 over 80 blood pressure what is the first number?
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
