Blood Pressure

Blood Pressure

Blood pressure is a measurement of the pressure of blood within your arteries. Your blood pressure reading consists of two readings. The higher number is the systolic blood pressure which is the pressure in your arteries during the contraction of your heart. The smaller number is the diastolic blood pressure which is the pressure in your arteries between heart beats. High blood pressure is sometimes known as the 'silent killer' as while around 1 in 3 adults in the UK are affected, there are usually no symptoms so many of these people will be unaware. Over time having high blood pressure causes damage to the heart, kidneys, brain, eyes and other organs and increases the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes.

Systolic and Diastolic Combination Flag

Your blood pressure result has been given a green flag as it's within the recommended range. With every heart beat, the heart contracts and pushes blood through your arteries to the rest of your body. This force creates a wave of pressure on those blood vessels which is referred to as systolic blood pressure. The diastolic blood pressure is the blood pressure in the arteries when the heart muscle relaxes between beats. This is the time when the chambers of the heart fills with blood and takes in oxygen.

Since most people with raised blood pressure do not experience any symptoms, it is important to check your blood pressure from time to time. With this in mind we recommend having your blood pressure checked every year, this is especially important if you have diabetes, heart disease, kidney problems or you have a family history of high blood pressure.
