Your reading appears very clearly on the Omron BP785 digital blood pressure monitor with the numbers large and in order on the screen. The top number is the systolic or highest pressure in an artery when your heart is pumping blood to your body. Beneath this a lower number appears and this is the diastolic or lowest pressure in an artery when your heart is at rest. To make a record of this reading to show to the doctor you write down the measurement with the high and low number like this 120/80.
A reading of 120/80 is normal, while measurements higher than this up to 139/89 are prehypertension or slightly raised blood pressure. Stage one of high blood pressure ranges from the top end of prehypertension up to 159/99, and readings above this up to 160/100 or more indicate high blood pressure. None of these readings should concern you until you check with a doctor who will also be able to recommend and start treatment.
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, can lead to feelings of dizziness and fainting and should also be treated when you see systolic readings of lower than 90 or if your reading falls by 25 or more points below normal.
Home checks should never completely replace professional medical advice and treatment, but the Omron BP785 digital blood pressure monitor will help you to keep an accurate check on your health and report readings accurately to the doctor.
