Understanding Your Blood Pressure Numbers

Systolic vs. Diastolic: What's the Difference?
Blood pressure is expressed as two numbers — systolic (the pressure when your heart beats) over diastolic (the pressure when your heart rests between beats).
Both numbers together give a fuller picture of cardiovascular status than either alone.
What's Considered a Normal Range?
Generally accepted guidelines describe a normal blood pressure reading as below 120/80 mmHg, though exact thresholds and categories should be confirmed with your doctor, since guidelines can be updated over time.
This article is educational only and not a substitute for a professional evaluation of your specific numbers.
Tracking Your Numbers at Home
A home blood pressure monitor, used consistently at the same time of day, can help you and your doctor track trends over time.
Sharing this tracked data at checkups gives your doctor a fuller picture than a single office reading.
When to Talk to a Doctor
Any reading outside what your doctor considers your normal range, or any diagnosed hypertension, should be addressed directly with a medical professional — not managed through a supplement alone.
