What are Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures?
The systolic blood pressure is the highest reading during a blood pressure measurement, and the diastolic blood pressure is the lowest reading. The average person has a systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 80 mmHg.
The goal for hypertension is to keep the systolic blood pressure below 140 mmHg and the diastolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures can be affected by many factors, including age, sex, lifestyle, genetics, weight, and medication use.
Best Way To Monitor Your Blood Pressure?
The best way to monitor your blood pressure is to have a regular blood pressure reading every day, preferably at the same time of day. You can do this by taking your own blood pressure reading with a certified medical device, such as a sphygmomanometer (a special cuff), or using a home device like an automated sphygmomanometer (ER-6P). Make sure to follow the instructions that come with your device. If you don’t have a certified medical device, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice on how to take your own blood pressure reading.
