What's Your Number?

Your Blood Pressure, Made Simple


When you get your blood pressure checked, you’ll see two numbers, understanding them is easier than you think.


💙 The top number (systolic) is the pressure when your heart is pushing blood out to the rest of your body.

💙 The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when your heart is resting in between beats.


Think of it like this:


Top number = how hard your heart’s working during the push


Bottom number = how much pressure stays when it’s resting


A healthy reading is around 120/80 mmHg. If your numbers are regularly higher, it’s worth having a chat with your GP or pharmacist.


It 's important that these numbers aren’t just random, they tell you how healthy your heart and blood vessels are. Knowing them means you can spot any changes early and do something about it.


Do you know your numbers?


Pills form numbers "120" and "80" on a blue background with a red heart and ECG paper. Text: "WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER?" and website link.
