Which Blood Pressure Reading is More Important, Systolic or Diastolic?

I certainly don't expect you to answer this. I have recently (in the last 2 years) had electro cardia grams of most of my major arteries. For 76, They really did look good. I am having problems with LOW systolic ( 109/70).. My blood ox is always about 97 but I do get "lightheaded" when I walk or engage in minor exercise. I have great primary and specialty care (Pulmonology and Ophthalmology) physicians but As our US population expands, I would hope that more students would do Geriatric Care. We have a lot to contribute and I (especially) hope that we could consider that.

that music is a stress raiser

Im 42 years old man mine reads today 107 67 70 is this ok any advise

Bla, bla, bla. Get to the point.

Your explanation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure was very informative! It’s great to understand which reading is more important for overall heart health. Thank you for sharing this valuable information—it can help people monitor their blood pressure more effectively!

Define "normal blood pressure". The pre- 2017 140/90? The post- 2017 120/80? Lower? Higher? Somewhere in between? 🤷‍♀️

This info, being only numbers, DOES NOT address what to do.... so, it is worthless.

Whenever I hear "recent studies show" I think of pharmaceutical industry wanting to prescribe more drugs

My diastolic is 135+ for 15 years

There are so many English translations of GEETA ,read 2_3 pages every day.(Its not a religious book, it's about way of life 😔)

My heart problems was caused by 2nd hand cigarette smoke. I was always in an environment where several family members including my father and stepfather smoked like chimneys. After I moved from my parents house I still had to deal with 2n hand cig smoke at family gatherings and in restaurants. This was years of being forced to breath this poison. Not only did I develop high blood pressure but I had to eventually get open heart surgery which happened in April of 2023. I was also diabetic at one time but got my diabetes under control. In my case diabetes runs in the family on my mothers side. All of my brothers as well as my parents have passed away. I'm 78 now and decided to take action after having angina. I went to the ER and was transported to the heart hospital. Age for my brothers at the time of death were 36, 73 and 73. My mom passed away at 73 with out of control diabetes and my father passed away at 49. Thank goodness I don't smoke and worked to get my diabetes under control.

When they measure by ear. What are they measuring? I don't think you explained it

Dam im 35 😢

Thank you

Watching this video about HPB made my blood pressure increase from nervousness

My BP has been 197/105 for the last year should I be concerned.

rather useless vid.

Joe Louis weigh in for championship fight 140/90 go figure

😂one week it's the upper one the next day they say the lower number

Bendiciones hno. Oscar. Casanova siempre se presento como un ex-pastor evangelico, y las personas que lo conocian decian que el solamente fue un capellan, o sea que Casanova mentia. Con las ultimas blasfemias de la iglesia de Roma tales com Fiducia Supplican, Casanova mostro su completo desagrado hizo que se rebelara; pero hasta ahora, porque? Un doctor en teologia de la iglesia catolica no va a saber lo corrupta que es esa organizacion? Cuando Casanova ya no tenga una fuente de ingresos, ahi si se vaa saber si su conversion es real.

NOTE*** THE VIDEO OF THE PERSON GETTING TESTED WITH A CUFF... RIGHT ARM IS WRONG!!! LEFT ARM IS PROPER ARM FOR CORRECT READINGS!!!

platitudes and no conclusions

Stay away from chatty white coats.

Get rid of stress by voting BLUE !

Thanks for the video clip

am 30 years old my blood pressure 220/140 why ??

gee, controlling a symptom doesn't fix the problem? Who didn't see that coming?

Mines been being 139/96. And 155/109

Well, it would be nice to actually specify what is considered high blood pressure. I know the norm is 120/80, but through the whole video they talked about "high", but what numbers are considered high in either Systolic or Diastolic? You would think it is important to mention some numbers so you know what range you are looking for (whether high or low) since the whole subject is about blood pressure...

You didn’t discuss the other end. I,m 75 years, what happened when my sis bp is below a 100 and dia bp is below 65?

I am 61 eat healthy exercise am 65kilos yesterday at doctors i got 220 over 110

Have you noticed doctor checking blood pressure on old lady doing on right hand which is wrong

125/68 today. I take mine every day, and I'm 62. I've been doing breathing exercises daily and have dropped 10 points on both systolic and diastolic numbers.

I have a high systolic number and a low diastolic number. The only thing the seems to help is just relaxing. It works even better than the blood pressure medications to bring it down.

Averaging 120/65 consistently every day. Cazon monitor.

sorta failed to address LOW BP especially low diastolic so thanks for nothing? lol

Systolic Systolic pressure is a better predictor of risk

check my blood pressure SYS mmHg 106 DiA mmHg 65 PUL/min blood pressure 124 JACQUELINE M PANCAN 30'TH ❤❤

The bit I dont understand and I think neither to doctors is how on earth can it be correct that there is one standard number for everyone? Doctors point to 120/80 always and 140/90, but HOW is it the same no matter the persons age? Surely in this day and age they would have some sort of age related standards, I cant imagine it is really 'one size fits all'.

Why the *6&% do you not give actual figures ??

Best❤ videoby far

I'm 77 and stopped seeing any more doctors. Every time I see one, they want to test me for something. Tired of having my rear end probed, being told my blood pressure is too high when I test mine at home and it's just fine, being told I'm diabetic when my meter tells me I'm just fine, being misdiagnosed as having blood clots when I actually had Guillain-Barre, when I was told a "was going to die" if I didn't have a quadruple heart bypass (this was 4 years ago) and I'm still above ground, and on and on!

I'm 5"9, weigh 155 pounds and eat healthy. I fast every 2 months for 3 to 4 days and enjoy a fun sex life!

Screw doctors! When I get uploaded, I'll be ready for anything!

This video didn't discuss what the important levels are??? 😦
