A doctor or nurse will measure your blood pressure with a small gauge attached to an inflatable cuff. It`s simple and painless.

The person taking your blood pressure wraps the cuff around your upper arm. Some cuffs go around the forearm or wrist, but often they aren`t as accurate.

Your doctor or nurse will use a stethoscope to listen to the blood moving through your artery.

She`ll inflate the cuff to a pressure higher than your systolic blood pressure, and it will tighten around your arm. Then she`ll release it. As the cuff deflates, the first sound she hears through the stethoscope is the systolic blood pressure. It sounds like a whooshing noise. The point where this noise goes away marks the diastolic blood pressure.

In a blood pressure reading, the systolic number always comes first, and then the diastolic number. For example, your numbers may be ``120 over 80`` or written as 120/80.
