Blood Pressure Calculator
Understanding Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps it around your body. It is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and recorded as two numbers: systolic pressure (top number) and diastolic pressure (bottom number). Normal blood pressure is typically considered to be below 120/80 mm Hg.
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a common health condition that can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease and stroke. Regularly monitoring your blood pressure can help you identify and manage potential issues before they become more serious.
