About Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries. Systolic pressure occurs
when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured
in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is represented by the fundamental
pressure, which is measured first thing in the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.

stress, and with medication under a doctor's supervision.
