Blood pressure in normal range is important for the human body. If this pressure becomes to high or to low then it is fatal condition for any person.

Before knowing high blood pressure and low blood pressure you need to know about what exactly the Blood pressure is?so let's start

What is blood pressure?

Before understanding about blood pressure you have to know this.

We have network of millions arteries which connects to the heart in our body. Within these arteries the blood flows and have pressure which is exerted by the heart.

Just like a pipe having water in it or when we open the tap the water runs within the pipe and having some pressure, in the same way we have arteries in our body and when heart pumps blood in it then arteries have pressure within it which is called blood pressure.

In simple words the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of arteries is called blood pressure.

What is systolic pressure ?

Before understanding about systolic blood pressure you need to know this. In our heart we have four chambers two upper chamber (one right atrium & one left atrium) and two lower chamber (one right ventrcle & one left ventricle ).

When blood pumps in our body by heart it comes form the right ventricle when ventricles contracts (also called ventricle systole) an extra amount of blood is forced into the arteries of body and during this time the pressure created within the arteries is the systolic blood pressure.

Normal systolic blood pressure is 120mmHg.

What is Diastolic pressure?

Diastol means when heart is in resting state and not pumping blood, after contracting the heart comes to its original shape and filled with blood once again.

During this state the heart is resting and the pressure during this time within arteries is called diastolic pressure.

The normal diastolic pressure is 80mmHg.

So, the normal blood pressure is 120/80mmHg. It may slightly up & down from person to person.

What is High blood pressure (Hypertension)?

Now you know the normal blood pressure which is 120/80mmHg. But if this pressure is continuing lies within or more than 140/90mmHg range then it is called Hypertension or High Blood pressure.
