FAQs About Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?

In the most basic sense, blood pressure is a way of measuring how much force is being exerted on the walls of your blood vessels (artery) as blood flows through them.

  • Systolic is the top number. It represents the pressure as your heart contracts to pump blood to the body.
  • Diastolic is the bottom number. It represents the pressure between beats, when your heart relaxes.

In terms of taking action based on your blood pressure readings, this should always be discussed and decided on between you and your doctor. You should never self-diagnose or adjust your medication if not prescribed by your doctor.

What is more important -- the Systolic or Diastolic reading? Both readings are important. One measures your blood pressure during a heart contraction and the other measures blood pressure between heart contractions. For your particular situation, you should discuss both measurement results with your doctor.

Is it normal for my blood pressure to vary? Yes, it is quite normal for people’s blood pressure to change throughout the day and night, or in different settings where you may measure your blood pressure. Many things, such as stress levels, food or drink intake, activity levels, even time of day can all affect a person’s blood pressure reading at any given time. In fact, there are published studies that show a given person’s blood pressure can change by up to 20mm within a day, based on activity levels, food/drink intake, stress, etc. This is why it is important to take your blood pressure on a regular basis, and review the overall trend of your blood pressure readings with your doctor.

What can I do to help better manage my blood pressure?  Managing your blood pressure doesn’t have to take a lot of work. In fact, small improvements to your lifestyle can help.

Exercise: Just be a little more active. Walk instead of drive; take the stairs instead of the elevator, etc.

Eat Smart: Try to find low-fat, low-sodium substituted that also taste great. Potassium found in bananas and carrots is nature’s best medicine for your heart.

Kick the Habits: Minimize your alcohol and cigarette intake.

Stifle Your Stress: Stress is a normal part of life. But too much can increase the risk of heart disease. Relax by doing things you enjoy (yoga, gardening, walking, etc.) and your heart can benefit.

Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home: Monitoring your blood pressure at home on a regular basis provides you and your doctor with the information to best manage your blood pressure.

These are just some examples. Discuss with your doctor on other ways how you can better your heart.

My blood pressure is not responding to the medications my doctor prescribe. What should I do?  You should contact your doctor and discuss the situation. Only your doctor is qualified to diagnose and prescribe medication, or make changes to medications in managing blood pressure.
