Detailed explanation-1: -Your blood pressure reading uses these two numbers. Usually the systolic number comes before or above the diastolic number. For example, 120/80 means a systolic of 120 and a diastolic of 80.
Detailed explanation-2: -The blood pressure of a person is 120/80 which means that the systolic pressure is 120 mm Hg and diastolic pressure is 80 mm Hg. It indicated that the person has a normal blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -The “120” is the top number and is known as systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The “80” is the bottom number and is known as diastolic blood pressure. This is the pressure measured between your heartbeats when your heart is relaxing.
