1 Information on blood pressure

The circulatory system in our bodies supplies all organs and tissues with sufficient
oxygen and nutrients to meet their requirements. The heart acts as a pump to keep
the blood moving. It normally beats to a regular rhythm, 60 to 80 times a minute.
This is known as the heart rate or pulse rate.
Blood pressure is subject to a number of changes in the course of the day and during
the night. When sleeping, blood pressure is low. High to very high values occur when
we are agitated or in periods of physical exertion. The temporary increase in blood
pressure at these times is quite normal. It soon goes down again.
Blood pressure is the result of contraction and relaxation of the beating heart.
The upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) pressures can be measured.
Blood pressure readings are expressed in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).
The upper limit of the normal range for adults is 135 / 85 mmHg. (recommendations for
the measurement of blood pressure from the Deutsche Liga zur Bekämpfung des hohen
Blutdrucks e.V., Heidelberg).
If we measure blood pressure regularly, we can learn a great deal about the way our
own bodies work and their reactions to outside influences.
