Few words about blood pressure

Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows
through them.
Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, or beats, it sends a surge of blood
through the blood vessels and pressure increases. This is called your systolic
pressure
When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure decreases. This is
called your diastolic pressure.
When a doctor takes your blood pressure, he or she measures both your systolic and
diastolic pressures and records them as numbers. For example, if your blood
pressure reading is 126/76 (126 over 76), your systolic is 126 and your diastolic is
76. The numbers are calculated in millimetres of mercury and recorded as 126/76
mm Hg
These two numbers provide important information about your health. The more
difficult it is for your blood to flow through your blood vessels, the higher both
numbers will be. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called
hypertension (High blood pressure).
Please consult your physician to determine if your blood pressure accurately reflects
your actual blood pressure
Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure fluctuates from day to day
and minute to minute according to your body's needs. For example, when you are
exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or
sleeping your blood pressure decreases. These fluctuations are completely normal.
This blood pressure monitor is especially helpful when tacking changes in your
blood pressure because it travels anywhere and takes just seconds to use.
Factors that may cause the blood pressure to fluctuate
* Breathing
* Exercise
* Mental stress
* Worries
* Environmental and / or temperature change
* Eating
* Urination and bowel movement
