➡️ Systolic Blood Pressure
Systolic pressure is the top number of a blood pressure measurement. It is the highest level of pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and pumps blood out to the body. It's an indicator of the amount of pressure the heart is exerting to pump blood through the circulatory system. A high systolic pressure can indicate that the heart is working harder than it should and can be a sign of hypertension.

➡️ Diastolic Blood Pressure
Diastolic pressure, on the other hand, is the bottom number of a blood pressure measurement. It is the lowest level of pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. It's an indicator of the resistance to blood flow in the circulatory system. A high diastolic pressure can indicate that the blood vessels are narrowed or stiffened, which can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.

➡️ Normal
A normal blood pressure reading is typically around 120/80 mmHg. However, it's important to note that optimal blood pressure ranges may vary by individual and age, and it's best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine what is normal for you. It's also important to regularly monitor your blood pressure and make lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress, to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. As a medical professional, it's important to understand the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure as they can provide important information about a patient's cardiovascular health.
