How to check and measure Blood Pressure?

POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED BEFORE CHECKING BLOOD PRESSURE :- 

1) Blood Pressure should only be checked when person have full rest. 

2) If patient is in anger, have some mental tension or came running from a far distance then blood pressure checked at the time would be high and considered to be wrong. For such type of patients,
blood pressure should be checked once and check again after 15 minute of rest. Blood Pressure taken second time would be considered as correct. 

3) Mental status have direct effect on the blood pressure so blood pressure should only be checked at the time of tranquility.

TYPES OF BLOOD PRESSURE:- 

1) Systolic Blood Pressure - The Pressure on arteries when heart beats.

2) Diastolic Blood Pressure - The Pressure on arteries in-between heart beats.

NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE NUMBERS:- 

1) Systolic Blood Pressure - 95 mm to 140 mm.

2) Diastolic Blood Pressure - 60 mm to 90 mm.

NORMAL BLOOD PRESSURE NUMBER ACCORDING TO AGE:-

Usually 120/80 mm is considered to be the normal blood pressure but one can calculate normal blood pressure value according to his age. Formula to be used is given below:

Normal Blood Pressure for x year old person = (100 + (x/2)) ± 10 mm.

Normal blood pressure for 30 year old man is 100+(30/2) = 100+15 = 115 mm.

Hyper-tension:- When both pressures means Systolic as well as Diastolic blood pressure increases then it is considered to be high blood pressure or hyper-tension.

Hypo-tension:- When both pressures means Systolic as well as Diastolic blood pressure decreases then it is considered to be low blood pressure or hypo-tension.
