I can assure you that it doesn't stand for 'Bad Prostate!' Blood pressure is the answer you're seeking and in a normal young male it should be less than 120/80 mm. of Hg..

blood pressure is the force on the veins the top number is when your heart works hardest . the bottom number is your heart at rest . the pulse is how hard your heart works to maintain your pressure. that is why your pulse increases when you exercise and decreases at rest hope this helps you.

I think a better title would be something like: The Effect of Music Genres on Blood Pressure.  Make sure to include hypothesis, materials, procedure, observations, and conclusion.

white coat syndrome. Specifically, I have heard this term used to describe patients whose blood pressure is higher when taken by a doctor.

blood pressure.  The viscosity factor is present in the flow equations.  The flow number is than in the equation governing cardiac output.  You see viscosity affect blood pressure, but the equations relate it to the amount of energy needed during each stroke of the heart.

Sounds like a job for Wikipedia!\n\nBlood pressure is the pressure of the blood on the walls of the blood vessels as the heart squirts it through the circulatory system.   When your blood first leaves the pump (your heart) it's moving as fast as it's going to, and there's as much pressure in the system as there's going to be.  The farther from the heart you go, the less the pressure in the system (just like an irrigation system, or the plumbing in a house.)\n\nThe heart not only has to pump the blood out to where it's needed, it has to pump it back again, to run it through the lungs to pick up some more oxygen so it can be recirculated.  Blood pressure is much lower on the return trip, when the blood is way out there far from the pump.  The outbound system is your arteries, the return trip is your veins.  \n\nMostly when you measure blood pressure, it's the pressure in the big arteries that are close to the skin and easy to find without poking any holes (the brachial artery in the arm is an example). \n\nThe traditional way to measure blood pressure is in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg), and you always state it the same way so everyone knows what you're talking about.  From a medical point of view what you're interested in is how much pressure there is in the system when the heart isn't squirting new blood into it (at the "resting" phase or "bottom" of the heartbeat cycle) which is called the diastolic pressure; and then how much pressure there is in the system at the top of the cycle, when your heart is forcing new blood into your arteries, which is called the systolic pressure.  So the "top of the cycle" number goes on top, and the "bottom of the cycle" number goes on the bottom.  A typical reading for a resting, healthy adult is around 120/80 (meaning 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic)\n\nHope this is what you needed!

Is it possible you mean BNP?\n\nBNP is a hormone released by the heart when it is having difficulty pumping.  A blood test determines the amount of BNP in your blood, and a high level indicates heart failure.\n\nTesting for BNP can help doctors determine if a patient's symptoms are because of heart problems rather than something else. \n\nFor a patient with a known heart problem, BNP can show if heart failure is part of the condition.

Blood pressure is a measurement of the force applied to the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. The pressure is determined by the force and amount of blood pumped, and the size and flexibility of the arteries.\nBlood pressure is continually changing depending on activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, posture, physical state, and medication use. I imagine you are referring to high blood pressure.  High blood pressure often has no signs or symptoms. The only way to find out if you have high blood pressure is to be tested for it.

Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood at right angles to the walls of the blood vessels. Unless indicated otherwise, blood pressure refers to systemic arterial blood pressure, i.e., the pressure in the large arteries delivering blood to body parts other than the lungs, such as the brachial artery (in the arm). The pressure of the blood in other vessels is lower than the arterial pressure. Blood pressure values are universally stated in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).\n\nIn medicine, a person's pulse is the throbbing of their arteries as an effect of the heart beat. It can be felt at the neck, at the wrist and other places.\nPressure waves move through the blood vessels, which are pliable; it is not caused by the forward movement of the blood. When the heart contracts, blood is ejected into the aorta and the aorta stretches. At this point the wave of distention (pulse wave) is most pronounced, but relatively slow-moving (3 to 5 m/s). As it travels towards the peripheral blood vessels, it gradually diminishes and becomes faster. In the large arterial branches, its velocity is 7 to 10 m/s; in the small arteries, it is 15 to 35 m/s. The pressure pulse is transmitted 15 or more times more rapidly than the blood flow.\nThe term pulse is also used, although incorrectly, to denote the frequency of the heart beat, usually measured in beats per minute. In most people, the pulse is an accurate measure of heart rate.

The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure when your heart is resting (between beats).  It's a measure of how flexible / hardened your arteries are.

it will make u BP up and has some bad effect with some drugs that people use for their  heart diseases and blood pressure /..pls talk to ur doc

The first line of treatment of HBP is a conservative treatment. Which means proper diet balance, exercising, lowering your weight, control of stress and lifestyle advisory and make some tests. After a period of time considered by your physician there is going to be a reevaluation. If your husband can maintain the BP in a normal or borderline range, than he would continue without medications but with periodical examination. \nIf the BP cannot be controlled by this measures, then it will be necessary to administrate a proper treatment which varies on the background conditions (presence or absence of high blood cholesterol, diabetes, kidneys disease, etc.)\nMost patients with high blood pressure can develop a normal life with a single medication, but having follow up periodically.

Yes, this is a good blood pressure.  normal range is between 100/60 and 120/80 approximately.  The top number is the pressure when the heart is squeezed during a beat and all the blood is in the vessels.  The bottom number is the pressure when the heart is relaxed during a beat and blood fills the heart, so less is in the vessels.

B.S. stands for Bachelor of Science. The bachelor's degree is the basic college degree. The post-graduate degrees are the Masters degree, and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D). The Ph.d is the highest degree a  regular university can award.This does not include the medical school graduates, who are awarded Doctor of Medicine degrees (MD's), or the law school graduates who are awarded Juris Doctor degrees (JD's).
