What is blood pressure?

Blood Pressure is a measurement of the pressure of the blood flowing
against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is changing
constantly during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure
in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and the lowest
is the diastolic blood pressure; the both readings are necessary to enable
you to evaluate the status of your blood pressure.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day,
can influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the
morning but high from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer
but higher in the winter.

What is normal blood pressure?

Blood pressure varies from individual to individual and is dependent upon
a number of factors, such as age, weight, physical condition of gender.
The classic normal reading for an adult between the age of 18 and 45
is 120/80mmHg. Remember, only your physician is qualified to determine
whether the readings you obtain are normal for you.
Note: Blood pressure does vary with age, so you must check with your
doctor to find out what is "normal" for you. Under no circumstances
should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor!
