Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and are provided as a pair of numbers. For example, 110 over 70 (written as 110/70) systolic/diastolic. The lower number is the diastolic blood pressure reading. It represents the minimum pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest. The higher number is the systolic blood pressure reading. It represents the maximum pressure exerted when the heart contracts.
The price of âroom and boardââa.k.a. housing and mealsâcan range a lot depending on where you live and what school you go to.
