Hello!

Blood pressure is the force exerted by the bloodstream against the walls of the arteries. When this pressure is too high, it is considered a disease called hypertension.

Blood pressure is recorded with two numbers. First number is called systolic pressure and represents the pressure of your blood vessels when your heart beats. Second number is called diastolic pressure and represents the pressure of your blood vessels when the heart rests between beats.
