When you visit the doctor, one of the first things they do is check your blood pressure. But what does it mean when your reading is 128/82? Is that a good blood pressure or a cause for concern?
First, let’s break down what those numbers mean. The top number, or systolic pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number, or diastolic pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart is at rest between beats.
According to the American Heart Association, a blood pressure reading of 128/82 falls within the normal range for adults. However, it’s important to note that blood pressure can fluctuate throughout the day and can be affected by factors such as stress, exercise, and medication.
While a reading of 128/82 may be considered normal, it’s still important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes if necessary. This can include maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, and reducing stress.
