As the heart pumps, the flow of blood in your arteries rises and falls in a regular pattern.  Blood pressure peaks when the heart pumps and falls as the heart relaxes. That is why blood pressure is given in two numbers.  Normal blood pressure reading is 120/80mmHg.
Blood pressure may vary through out the day.  Emotions, body position, sleep and breathing may also cause the fall and rise of blood pressure.

* Signs and symptoms
There are very seldom any warning signs, for this reason, high blood pressure is often called the "Silent Killer".
