*Sowmiya Devi B., Lavanya N., Kalaimani S. and Dr. J. Bagyalakshmi

ABSTRACT

Blood pressure is the pressure changing against the walls of your arteries. Arteries carry blood from your heart to other parts of your body. Blood pressure is measured using two numbers, the first number called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats. Usually, blood pressure changes throughout the day based on your activities. Blood pressure may change based on our lifestyle, physical activities, sleep, food etc., Here, in this article we have discussed how the blood pressure changes in subjects when the sleep or food pattern changes. Also discussed some data about blood pressure changes from early 1975 to 2015. In this review article we have also done a pilot scale study with 10 subjects.
