systolic pressure – the pressure when your heart pushes blood out
diastolic pressure – the pressure when your heart rests between beats^From NHS... I just write them all down do an average and say how I did it, they'll know within a short glance
(That what the numbers are wasn't for you as such more i had forgotten)
I have a follow up appointment this week, and the absence of any instruction other than ‘take your blood pressure for two weeks’, I suppose I should prepare some analysis in advance.
I found this:
When deciding what is the lowest, would that be based on the Sys or Dia figure?
Presumably when calculating average, I simply add up all the Sys and divide by amount, same for Dia?
