About Blood Pressure Readings
Systolic pressure (top number) measures the force when your heart beats. Diastolic pressure (bottom number) measures the force between beats when your heart rests.
A single reading can be affected by stress, caffeine, exercise, or the "white coat effect." The AHA recommends measuring at rest after 5 minutes of sitting, twice daily for most accurate tracking.
