What Do Those Blood Pressure
Numbers Mean? By D Ruplinger
The body is an amazing and complicated system. Every time a
person’s heart beats, blood is released from the heart and
spread throughout the body via the blood vessels (arteries,
capillaries and veins are types of blood vessels). Oxygen is
retrieved from the lungs and deposited throughout the body via
the blood vessels. Carbon dioxide is carried to the heart via
the blood vessels and is sent to the lungs so the carbon dioxide
can be released and a new supply of oxygen can be picked up.
Nutrients are also carried throughout the body via the blood
vessels. Waste products travel through the blood vessels and, as
they travel through the kidneys and liver, the waste products
are left behind. The average person has 11 pints of blood
traveling through the vessels in their body. To keep the blood
moving and all the necessary processes working correctly, some
pressure is needed.
Blood pressure measures the amount of pressure in the arteries.
A device called a sphygmomanometer (the inflatable arm cuff with
the attached air pump and pressure gauge that we are probably
familiar with) is used to measure the pressure.
There are two different numbers that make up a person’s blood
pressure. The systolic pressure is the top or left-hand side
number. The diastolic pressure is the lower or right-hand
number.
Systolic pressure is the amount of pressure exerted when the
heart contracts. Diastolic pressure is the amount of pressure
that remains in the arteries between heartbeats, when the heart
is resting. If someone has a blood pressure of 112/70 (spoken as
“112 over 70”). it means that person has a systolic pressure of
112 and a diastolic pressure of 70. Both the systolic and
diastolic numbers are important and need to maintained at
healthy levels.
What is a healthy and normal blood pressure? Experts say 119/79
is the healthiest blood pressure for an adult and is what every
adult should strive for. Blood pressure between 120/80 and
129/84 is normal. High-normal blood pressure is between 130/85
and 139/89. When blood pressure reaches 140/90 and higher it is
considered high blood pressure. The higher a person’s blood
pressure gets after it is greater than 140/90, the greater the
risk for serious damage to the body’s organs
(http://www.gothypertension.com/hypertension).
A person’s blood pressure changes throughout the day depending
on what a person is doing physically, feeling mentally (strong
emotions can increase blood pressure), food that has been eaten,
and depending what time of the day it is. It is natural for a
person’s blood pressure to fluctuate somewhat.
To get a good blood pressure reading it is better to have it
taken after getting up from sleeping and moving around for a few
hours, rather than right away in the morning. Try not to have it
taken right after vigorous physical activity because blood
pressure stays lower than normal for a while. Also, try to not
to drink anything with caffeine or alcohol in it, or smoke for
at least thirty minutes before having a reading taken. The
tobacco and caffeine could temporarily raise blood pressure,
resulting in an inaccurate reading. And depending on the person,
alcohol can artificially raise or artificially lower blood
pressure for a short time.
If a blood pressure reading is high, the person will likely be
asked to come back in a day or two to have another reading done
so an average blood pressure can be established. One high blood
pressure reading doesn’t necessarily mean a person has high
blood pressure but it shouldn’t be ignored either. In addition
to the factors mentioned above that can temporarily and
artificially raise blood pressure, other things--such as the
stress of being in a medical setting--can also temporarily raise
it.
