What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the
arteries. Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic
pressure occurs when the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in
millimeters of mercury (mmHg). One's natural blood pressure is
represented by the fundamental pressure, which is measured first thing in
the morning while one is still at rest and before eating.
