3. How you check your BP

BP is one of the easiest to measure. Like they do at the doctor’s office now BP can be also measured at home using one of those devices. There are 2 readings for BP; one is systolic which is the numerator and the diastolic which is the denominator. The systolic basically means the pressure of the blood in the vessels whilst the heart beats and the diastolic means the pressure of the blood between heartbeats. The normal range is 120/80, but if the reading shows 140 or above its considered high BP. And if the diastolic shows 90 or over then that is high as well.
