Blood pressure
March 29, 2007

When I gave blood last month, I figured I'd pay attention to my blood pressure reading for once: 146/76. The 146 number is decidedly high. Optimally, an individual is below 120 ... on average, below 130, and hopefully not above 140. The 76 number, though, is just dandy, since it is optimally below 80. I was curious why the one number was poor and the other number good.

Last night I was passing by Shoppers Drug Mart so I figured I'd test myself again. I've heard that blood pressure can vary quite a bit, so if you're trying to get a more accurate picture of where you're really at, you need to test yourself a few different times and at different times of the day. My test last night came out at 126/86. Sure enough, that's quite different than my first test. Thankfully the 126 number is much better.

There's just something about physiology that brings a smile to my face :)
