Measuring and Changing Your Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is defined as the force of blood on the wall of the artery. If blood pressure is too high or too low, it may cause cardiovascular disorders in the future. When measuring blood pressure, the cuff is placed on your arms and raises the pressure of the cuff to temporarily stop blood flow. With a stethoscope, we will listen to your blood flow. By doing this you get two measurements. One is systolic blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure is a measurement value when the heart contracts blood or when the heart contracts, and it is diastolic blood pressure when the heart is relaxed.

To measure your blood pressure, experts inflate the cuff around your arms and use a pressure gauge to measure your blood pressure. As shown in the blood pressure monitor of the image, the blood pressure measurement is made by measuring the arterial pressure of the first digit (systolic blood pressure) when the heart beats and the arterial pressure (diastolic blood pressure) between the arterial pressures I will. Both values ​​of blood pressure reading are important. However, after 50 years of age, the systolic blood pressure reading becomes more prominent. Solitary systolic hypertension is a normal diastolic blood pressure (less than 80 mm Hg) but high systolic blood pressure (130 mm Hg or more). This is a common type of hypertension to people over 65 years old.

Blood pressure is measured to measure the force of blood flowing through the blood vessel. When measuring blood pressure, there are two numbers: systolic and diastolic, usually expressed as higher or higher number and lower or lower number. When the heart pumps blood into the artery, systolic blood pressure records the force and diastolic blood pressure records the pressure as the heart stops between the heart. Numbers that are larger than the ideal range indicate that your heart is working too hard to pump blood into other parts of the body.
