This would be within the normal range for an adult diastolic resting blood pressure.
The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
They look at the diastolic (smaller number) when checking for high blood pressure.
80 mm Hg
You're systolic is very good, but you're diastolic is very high. You should try measuring your blood pressure at various times as it can change at the slightest of activities such as climbing a set of stairs. If you continue to see high diastolic pressure figures (it should be around 70) you should seek a doctors advice on how to lower it.
Diastolic refers to the moment when the heart muscle is relaxed between contractions. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure at that moment - the lower of the two blood pressure numbers. (e.g. if the blood pressure is 120/80, the diastolic pressure is 80.) it is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. it measures the force of blood in the chambers of the heart: the atria and ventricles.
Diastolic
systolic
The systolic pressure is the upper number, while diastolic is the lower number.His diastolic pressure climbed to 120 in a blood pressure of 220/120.The woman's diastolic blood pressure fell with a large gap between the systolic and diastolic pressures.
your diastolic bp, briefly, is your heart intake bp, the lower number, which should be +- 80.
it is systolic I remember it by Lub-Dub like clapping your hands.
MAP=diastolic pressure+(pulse pressure/3) so... MAP - (pulse pressure/3)= diastolic pressure
