Blood pressure is the force of blood moving through your arteries, and is measured with twonumbers. The first, or top number, is your pressure when your heart beats, called the systolic pressure. The second, or bottom number, measures the force of blood in your arteries while your heart is relaxed (filling with blood between beats). This is called the diastolic pressure. Blood pressure usually varies throughout the day.
Hypotension (HI-po-TEN-shun) is abnormally low blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. Blood pressure is measured as systolic (sis-TOL-ik) and diastolic (di-a-STOL-ik) pressures. Systolic refers to blood pressure when the heart beats while pumping blood.
