Blood Pressure Chart

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. Because of these reasons it is very crucial that you check your blood pressure regularly. Medindia's simple tool alerts you if for your age your blood pressure is abnormal by displaying the normal values.

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 elbow is the common method. Please remember to put on the cuff properly and if your pressure is high check it again when you are more relaxed. Also remember that your pressure may be higher after a meal or exercise.

Hypertension or blood pressure may be divided into three types :
v	Mild Hypertension: The systolic blood pressure ranges between 140 and 160 and the diastolic blood pressure ranges between 90 and 100.
v	Moderate Hypertension: The systolic blood pressure ranges between 160 and 200 and the diastolic blood pressure ranges between 100 and 120.
v	Severe Hypertension: The systolic blood pressure is above 200 and the diastolic blood pressure is above 120.
v	* Please note - Values discussed are all in mm of Hg.
