HOW DOES THE BLOOD PRESSURE CALCULATOR WORK?

The blood pressure calculator calculates your reading by analyzing the two numbers in your blood pressure: systolic and diastolic. These readings are compared against medical guidelines to determine if your blood pressure is within the normal range. Once you input your readings, the calculator provides you with feedback on whether your blood pressure is normal, elevated, or high and hypertension stage.

How to Take Your Blood Pressure

Taking an accurate blood pressure reading is key to understanding your heart health. Follow these steps for the most reliable results:

1. Sit Comfortably: Ensure you're seated with your back supported and feet flat on the ground.
2. ‍Position Your Arm: Rest your arm on a flat surface at heart level.
3. ‍Place the Cuff: Wrap the cuff around your upper arm, above the elbow, ensuring it’s snug but not tight.
4. ‍Relax: Stay still and quiet while taking the reading.
5. ‍Record the numbers: Write down the systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number) values for entry into the calculator.

A Blood Pressure Reading Gives Two Numbers

A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers:

1. Systolic Pressure (Top Number): This is the pressure in your arteries when your heart contracts and pumps blood. It's the higher number and the first one recorded in a reading. A healthy systolic pressure is generally considered to be less than 120 mmHg.
2. Diastolic Pressure (Bottom Number): This measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats. It's the lower number in the reading and reflects the resistance of your blood vessels. A healthy diastolic pressure is typically below 80 mmHg.

Together, these two numbers provide valuable insights into your heart's health, and both are important in diagnosing conditions like hypertension (high blood pressure).

Why Monitor Your Blood Pressure?

• Detect early signs of hypertension
• Prevent stroke, heart disease, and kidney issues
• Monitor your health between doctor visits
• Measure progress after lifestyle or medication changes

High blood pressure often presents no symptoms; that's why regular monitoring is crucial. Learn more about symptoms, risks, and prevention in our High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Guide.
