Blood Pressure Explained: Which Number Reading Matters the Most? (Upper vs Lower)

Описание: Blood Pressure Explained: Which Number Reading Matters the Most? (Upper vs Lower)

If you always check your blood pressure and focus only on the top number, ignoring the bottom one, you might be overlooking the true warning sign.

Most people don’t realize this, but research shows that the most important blood pressure number can change with age. What seems safe at 30 may quietly become risky after 60.

In this video, Dr. Ben Walker explains the difference between the upper number (systolic), the lower number (diastolic), and a third factor many have never heard of but should know: pulse pressure. You’ll discover how blood pressure affects the heart, brain, and circulation as we age—without medical jargon, only clear, practical explanations.

This video shows why many seniors are falsely reassured by “normal” readings, which number deserves more attention after 60, and how silent damage can occur even when you feel fine. Understanding this helps you discuss your numbers more effectively with your doctor and take action before complications develop.

If you’re over 60, have “borderline” readings, or aren’t sure which number really matters, this video gives clarity—no fear, just facts.
