How do calculate pulse rate?
Blood pressure is the force or pressure that blood puts on the walls of your arteries as it goes through your body. Blood Pressure readings are usually written as 2 numbers. The first and higher number is called systolic pressure. It is the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats. The second and lower number is called the diastolic pressure. It is the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart is resting between beats.
What does low diastolic blood pressure mean?
This is the resting pressure of the circulatory system. This is the pressure available in the circulatory system when the heart is at rest.There is either too little fluid in the vascular system or too few particles. You must have pressure even during the resting period for proper cell perfusion. This can also indicate a serious problem with the heart valves which help keep the resting system pressurized.
How is hypertension diagnosed?

The first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic blood pressure. It represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is contracting. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure when the heart is relaxing.
