Education. All physicians, including surgeons, must first complete an undergraduate degree program, usually in a science area such as biology or chemistry. Following undergraduate school, you then must complete four years of medical school and a three-year residency.
For most people, perfect BP is 120/80, which means that the systolic number is 120 and the diastolic pressure is 80. When wanting to know if a person has perfect blood pressure, it is best to check it various times throughout the day as it can change depending on the time of day and what the person had been doing prior to checking their BP.
The first number is the systolic pressure, when your heart pushes blood around your body. The second is the diastolic pressure, when your heart relaxes. Blood pressure usually ranges between 90 to 250 for the top or maximum number (systolic) and 60 to 140 for the bottom or minimum number (diastolic). A healthy blood pressure is 120/80 or less, but the lower you can get it, the better.
