Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)

If the two blood pressure measurements (systolic, diastolic) fall into separate categories, your level is classified in the higher of the two categories. For example, a Stage 2 systolic reading, but a diastolic pressure reading in the normal range.

IMPORTANT:

•Do not be alarmed by temporarily high or low readings because fluctuations in a person’s blood pressure are not uncommon. If possible, measure and record your blood pressure at the same time every day, and consult your physician if you have questions or concerns.

•If abnormal variations in blood pressure are observed in measurement, please consult your physician.
