what is the blood pressure units?

in my country they say 12/8 and here we have 120/80 i want to know exactly what are the unites of blood pressure

When blood pressure is taken, it is in units of millimeters of mercury. So 120/80 is 120 mm Hg/80 mm Hg. In some countries, it is read as 12/8. In this case it would centimeters (cm) of mercury. I think that this is done for convenience.
