Blood Pressure Terms

We were driving home from some event, and the topic of conversation turned to blood pressure. One of the kids asked what the two numbers were, and I couldn’t remember the term, so I just said the top one was “apostolic”.

The funny thing was that it sounded close enough so that people just went with it.

I then admitted what happened and the kids were throwing out other options, just about anything that ended in -olic (but not -holic).

  • apostolic
  • anabolic
  • diabolic

Those are the terms I could remember. Feel free to use any of those next time you’re discussing blood pressure.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart
