What is a normal bloodpressure?

Answer 1

Hypertension- high blood pressure. (Hypotension- low blood pressure)

High blood pressure is the pressure that is placed in your arteries when the heart pumps your blood. High blood pressure is an above average pressure that could eventually lead to things like strokes or heart attacks. Blood pressure is broke down by systolic and diastolic. Systolic readings are normally the higher of the two pressures when getting your blood pressure taken. If your systolic is lower than your diastolic then you probably aren't reading this and maybe in the hospital or even dead. Diastolic is the pressure left over in the arterie after the heart refills for another pump. Giving you a lower reading. Normal blood pressure should range around 140/80. If it is higher than that it would be a good idea to start an exercise program and diet.

Answer 2

120/80 120/80 According to the seventh Joint National Commission on hypertension (JNC 7), normal blood pressure for anyone over age 18 is less than 120/80. 120/80 to 139/89 is classified as pre-hypertension, over 140/90 is stage I hypertension and over 160/99 is stage II hypertension. Please see the link below for further information.

Answer 3

120/80 is considered normal, if it is above 140/90 then you are beginning stages of Hypertension.

Answer 4

Blood Pressure is recorded as Systolic pressure/ Diastolic pressure. The unit of meassurement is Milimeters of Mercury (mmHg)

Answer 5

Hypertension if the blood pressure is high and hypotension if the blood pressure is low

Answer 6

The medical term for normal blood pressure is normotension. Someone with normal blood pressure is said to be normotensive.

Answer 7

That blood pressure is considered a little low but still safe. The normal levels are for systolic is 90-120, and for diastolic it's 60-90.

Answer 8

Basically the average person's blood pressure should be around or below 120/80. for other individuals it may differ but the average among all people is 120/80.

Answer 9

90-119 (systolic)/60-79 (diastolic)

Answer 10
