Best Answer

Blood pressure numbers should run less than 120/80, no matter what adult age you are (over 18). Blood pressure readings consistently running 121-140/80-89 means you have a condition called "Pre-Hypertension," and you should be monitoring your blood pressure frequently, under a doctor's care. Some physicians will start antihypertensives at these readings, but many will suggest that you monitor it yourself (frequently) at home, keeping a journal of the readings. BP readings greater than 141/90 on a regular basis means that you have advanced into Hypertension and should be on antihypertensives under a doctor's care.

Hope this answers your question .
