• For instance, acute stress and heavy exercise could elevate blood pressure in a healthy person for sometime. For this reason, a diagnosis of hypertension generally needs several readings that can show high blood pressure over a period of time.
• The systolic reading of 130 mmHg is the pressure as the heart will pump out the blood around the body. 80 mmHg is the diastolic reading and it is the pressure as the heart will relax and refill with blood. If the reading is higher, it is a medical emergency and the person needs to seek immediate attention.
