Blood Pressure


	Blood pressure (BP) is the force of the blood against the arteries. The first or top number is called systolic, which represents the force when your heart beats. The bottom or second number is called diastolic, the pressure when your heart is at rest. Fluctuations in BP are common. That's why it takes more than one reading to determine your normal BP. To have your BP checked, make an appointment to see a nurse. Call (920) 465-2380.
