What is the Blood Pressure Calculator & How does it work?
Blood pressure is the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It is typically measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and is recorded as two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). Systolic pressure measures the highest pressure when the heart beats, while diastolic pressure measures the lowest pressure between beats.Normal blood pressure is generally considered to be less than 120/80 mmHg. Elevated blood pressure, also known as hypertension, can lead to various health issues such as heart disease and stroke.
