what are the numbers in your blood pressure
The systolic blood pressure number is always said first, and then the diastolic blood pressure number is given. For example, your blood pressure may be read as â120 over 80â or written 120/80. Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg). However, usually the âmmHgâ is not used when reporting the blood pressure. If your blood pressure is normal (less than 120/80), get it checked at least once every five years.
