Blood Pressure Chart

Email Email
Blood Pressure is an important vital sign. Blood Pressure is the measurement of pressure of the blood flowing through your blood vessels (called arteries) against the vessel walls. Blood pressure tends to change with age dramatically. Hence it is very crucial that you check your blood pressure regularly. Medindia’s simple tool lets you compare your blood pressure with the normal values.
Blood Pressure Chart
This measurement is important if you are using a home electronic device to check your blood pressure. Checking pressure of the Upper arms' major artery (brachial artery) that carries blood from heart to elbow is the common method. Please remember to put on the cuff properly and if the pressure is high check it again when you are more relaxed. Also remember that your pressure may be higher after a meal or exercise.

Facts:
v High blood pressure is a condition in which the heart exerts more force to pump the same quantity of blood within the same time and over the years can harden the arteries thereby weakening your heart.
v Main reasons for high blood pressure are stress or mental tension, heredity, excess salt intake, over-weight, sedentary life-style, smoking and excess alcohol.
v High blood pressure often has no signs or symptoms. Hence it is highly recommended to get your blood pressure tested regularly especially above the age of 45 years.

I am a 15 years old girl with a blood pressure of 94/36. I measured it in my biology class while sitting down and not talking to anyone. I measured it on my upper arm, and twice got the same results (give or take 1-2). This is really bad, isnt it? what should I do?

how accurate is the wrist method of checking blood prssure compared to the upper arm?

Posted by:  surendar  Posted on: 4/3/2013
Dear Joylagahit

It is always best to measure blood pressure in upper arm. It is easy and accurate too. Wrist method of checking blood pressure is fairly accurate if done properly. The problem is the blood vessels are narrow near the wrists and any change in body position or improper posture can affect the readings.
