Let me explain in general terms what the blood pressure numbers mean: top number (the systolic blood pressure) is the pressure the heart has to overcome to open the valves to pump blood out. Bottom number (the diastolic blood pressure) is the pressure between beats when the heart is resting.
Your blood pressure reading has 2 numbers. One or both of these numbers can be too high. 1  The top number is called the systolic blood pressure. For most people, this reading is too high if it is 140 or higher.  The bottom number is called the diastolic blood pressure.
