Blood Pressure? Blood preasure is a common misspelling of blood pressure.

Blood pressure is simply the amount of force exerted on the walls of the blood vessels as blood travels through them. Your blood pressure changes frequently throughout the day, and can be affected by several factors, such as level of exercise, tension, and posture. Many people consider a blood pressure reading of 120/80 as normal. However, it's important to look at your overall health, lifestyle, diet, and family history when comparing your blood pressure to what's considered "normal." These factors may cause you to have a higher or lower blood pressure on average.
