• The good blood pressure must be 120/80 mmhg(millmeter of mercury).
• The high blood pressure is meant be more than 120/80 mmhg.
• The low blood pressure is meant be lower than 120/80 mmhg.

  Symptoms

 Device To measure Blood Pressure

 The Syphgmometer is the device used to measure blood pressure, composed of an inflatable cuff to collapse and then release the artery under the cuff in a controlled manner, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure. It is always used in determining at what pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual sphygmometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope.
