The bottom number is the more important of the two. The bottom number of your BP (104) is a bit high. That's the pressure in your blood vessels after your heart has contracted and is now at momentary rest. Average is about 80. Your upper number (128) corresponds to the pressure in your vessels when your heart contracts.
What Does the Diastolic Blood Pressure Number Mean? The diastolic reading, or the bottom number, is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. This is the time when the heart fills with blood and gets oxygen. A normal diastolic blood pressure is lower than 80. But even if your diastolic number is lower than 80, you can have elevated blood pressure if the systolic reading is 120-129. 80-89 is stage 1 hypertension. 90 or more is stage 2 hypertension. 120 or more is a hypertensive crisis.
