Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Blood Pressure Measurements

Mon May 03, 2004 7:55 pm

I need to convert my French doctors reading of my blood pressure to "English" (imperial) measurements. So for example if the doctor says my blood pressure is 14/9 - what is that?

I know blood pressure in America is measured in Millimeters of Mercury - so it's already metric!?

I can't find anything on the web on this. Anyone know the answer or a good reference site? Maybe this measurement should be included on this site!?

Many Thanks,

Lisa
