Blood pressure is a measurement of the force your body puts on blood vessel walls as it travels through your body. Your blood pressure results will be shown as two numbers e.g 120/80.
120 80
Systolic pressure The force your blood puts on the blood vessel walls as your heart pumps. Diastolic pressure The force your blood puts on blood vessel walls when your heart is resting between beats.
For most of us the lower our blood pressure the better with 120/80 being a normal result. High blood pressure poses an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. If your blood pressure is consistently above 140/90 talk to your pharmacist and doctor about your risk factors. Ask your Advantage pharmacist for a blood pressure check today!
