Medical question

Quick medical question: what does it mean when the two figures of a blood-pressure reading (systolic and diastolic) are the same? For example, if I have a BP of 94/94?

Glad you're not dead...

There are two really useful NHS websites, see http://www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk/ and http://www.besttreatments.co.uk/ Neither of them seemed to say much about your condition, which I would tend to treat as a "get advice immediately" sort of thing. I feel it's better to panic needlessly and waste a couple of hours at the doctors or in an A&E rather than the alternative.
