Blood pressure is measured in two numbers:

120 = The force of blood when the heart beats (systolic)

80= The force of blood when the heart relaxes (diastolic)
(Your doctor will say “120 over 80.”)

Both numbers are important. But, as you get older, the top number becomes more important. Treatment usually focuses on lowering the top number.
