What are the two measurements of blood pressure?
Correct answer: Systolic and diastolic

sally, my doctor just put me on the lowest dose of blood pressure meds. I don't have blood pressure issues but he said at 75 it will make the heart work a little less. He is 75 and is on it as well. Good luck, you'll be fine.

if you want to remember the top and bottom numbers for example 120/80 .. 120 is systolic.. think SD as in SD card like for your phone or camera. in nursing school I shared that with a couple of the others to help them out as I already knew it from prior courses.

You need to have the BP monitor placed properly over the blood vessel to get an accurate reading. Also, your arm needs to be relaxed to get an accurate reading.
Been on BP meds for years
