Why the highest blood pressure is noted when you are standing??


why is the blood pressure highest when you are standing?.
and

if your blood pressure is 120/80. Does this mean that the pressure in each of the major arteries is 120 mm Hg during ventricle contraction?

When you are laying down your pressure is lower because your heart is not working against gravity.

Yes, yes it does.
