Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers, the systolic pressure (the pressure when the heart beats) over the diastolic pressure (the pressure when the heart relaxes between beats). We record this with the systolic pressure first (on the top) and the diastolic pressure second (below).
Detailed explanation-2: -The gauge uses a unit of measurement called millimeters of mercury (mmHg) to measure the pressure in your blood vessels.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are three different blood pressure categories: low risk, medium risk, high risk. See your doctor or healthcare provider to get a proper blood pressure measurement and find out which category you are in.
