BPS in the context of a doctor stands for Blood Pressure Systolic.
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood pushing against the walls of your arteries.
Systolic blood pressure refers to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, pushing blood out.
Doctors use a device called a sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure, which gives two readings: systolic and diastolic.
Here are some examples of how BPS is used in a medical context:
- A doctor might say, "Your BPS is 120 mmHg." This means that the patient's systolic blood pressure is 120 millimeters of mercury.
- A doctor might write "BPS 140/90" in a patient's medical chart. This means that the patient's blood pressure is 140 mmHg systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic.
