Question

The blood pressure of a person is 140/100 mm of Hg , what does it mean?

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are two parts or two separate numbers referred to as blood pressure: Systolic/Diastolic. If the blood pressure is 140/100 (140 over 100), it means that the systolic pressure is 140 and the diastolic pressure is 100. 140/100 blood pressure can also be read as 140/100 mm Hg, or 140/100 millimeters of mercury.

Answer 2

High blood pressure is defined as pressures above 140/90 for a period of time. Prehypertension is defined as a systolic pressure from 120–139 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or a diastolic pressure from 80–89 mm hg
