My advice is never store multiple pieces of data in one column unless you absolutely can't avoid it. Systolic pressure and diastolic pressure are distinct pieces of data and should be recorded separately. Do you have a valid reason for avoiding the "traditional" way?

To show you why they should be stored separately here is part of a blood donation form. "Donors must have blood pressure values of 180 or less for the top (systolic) number and 100 or less for the bottom (diastolic) number. Donors with values greater than 140/90 may wish to consult their personal physician." So as you can see, the numbers for eligibility are different than the numbers where you should be concerned. Not only that, but the difference between the concern and max numbers is different for the two pieces of data. So if anyone ever wanted a report where the pressure was above the rate of concern, but below the maximum for donation that query would be much more difficult to write if you combined the data. You also couldn't do proper sorting.
