| Our life depends on what our blood pressure is 24 hours a
day. A person can have too high or too low a pressure. If your pressure is
too high you can have a stroke and die. It the pressure is too low some
parts of your body will stop working. Blood pressure needs to be in the
129-80 or about that. The first number (129 is what is called systolic
pressure. This is the pressure when the hart is pumping. The 2nd called
the diastolic pressure is the pressure when the heart is relaxes. Below it
what the pressure for an adults should be. |
