Your blood pressure number is one of the most important health indicators your doctor looks at β yet most people have no idea what it actually means.
The top number (systolic) is the pressure when your heart beats. The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when your heart rests between beats. Normal is below 120 over 80. Above 130 over 80 is considered high blood pressure.
Here is what makes hypertension so dangerous: it has no symptoms. No pain. No warning signs. Many people walk around with dangerously high blood pressure for years without knowing.
