The blood pressure is measured by the sphygmomanometer which is a equipment that usually has a cuff that is wrapped around the arm and then using a stethoscope, the physician or the health care workers measure the blood pressure. It has a systolic and also a diastolic pressure. When the blood pressure is high, the blood will flow with great pressure through the arteries and also exert a force on the walls of the arteries. The blood pressure that is considered to be normal is 120/80 where the systolic pressure is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 80. The systolic and diastolic pressures are based on the heart functions. When there is a diseased condition, the blood pressure may increase to a higher level.
