1 Information on blood pressure

The circulatory system in our bodies supplies all organs and tissues with
sufficient oxygen and nutrients to meet their requirements. The heart acts
as a pump to keep the blood moving. It normally beats to a regular
rhythm, 60 to 80 times a minute. This is known as the heart rate or pulse
rate.
Blood pressure is subject to a number of changes in the course of the day
and during the night. When sleeping, blood pressure is low. High to very
high values occur when we are agitated or in periods of physical exertion.
The temporary increase in blood pressure at these times is quite normal.
It soon goes down again.
Blood pressure is the result of contraction and relaxation of the beating
heart. The upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) pressures can be
measured.
Blood pressure readings are expressed in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).
The upper limit of the normal range for adults is 135 / 85 mmHg.
(recommendations for the measurement of blood pressure from the
Deutsche Liga zur Bekämpfung des hohen Blutdrucks e.V., Heidelberg)
If we measure blood pressure regularly, we can learn a great deal about
the way our own bodies work and their reactions to outside influences.
We can therefore lead healthier lives!
