The previous answer was factually incorrect.
I've summarized the JNC 7 (The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure) guidelines as follows :
1. Normal: <120/<80 (systolic/diastolic)
2. Prehypertension: 120-139/or 80-89
→ lifestyle modifications recommended:
a. decrease salt intake
b. exercise
c. diet: high fiber; fruits and veggies. Reduce saturated and total fat consumption
d. moderate alcohol consumption
3. Stage-1 Hypertension: 140-159/or 90-99
→ lifestyle modification (stated above)
→ Single blood pressure lowering medication
4. Stage-2 Hypertension: >160/ or >100
→ lifestyle modification (stated above)
→ Combination drug therapy (2 different types of blood pressure lowering medication)
In adults, diastolic BP tends to stabilize, while systolic generally increases with age, and is a better indicator of cardiovascular health. People who don't have hypertension by age 55, still have a 90% risk of developing it in their lifetime.
On first blush, your blood pressure seems to fall within the "normal range." However, what you'd need to know is what your baseline BP was before these latest readings. Low blood pressure (hypotension) is a BP <90/<60, so you don't really have hypotension, per se. But again, while your blood pressure is within a "normal" range, you'd need to know your baseline BP to have a better understanding of any clinically significant changes; so while your BP may fall with a normal range, it may not be normal for you (especially if you haven't made any lifestyle changes that would account for a drop in your blood pressure).
Has your systolic pressure always been on the low side (~102)? (This could be normal for your physiology.) Do you feel light headed when you stand up? (Orthostatic hypotension) Do you ever experience shortness of breath or chest pain? Do you need to prop your upper body up with pillows when you sleep? Are you experiencing a fever? Are you volume deplete (are you drinking enough liquids)?
A change in your blood pressure, such as a decrease in BP, could be an indication of pathology, such as drug-induced hypotension (e.g., diuretics - "pee" pills), or a change in your heart function (e.g., congestive heart failure, myocardial infarct = heart damage from a "heart attack", or an irregular heart beat).
Please schedule an appointment with your physician to discuss your concerns. Or seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pains, shortness of breath, or light-headedness.
Be well :)
Yes, a blood pressure of 110 over 70 is generally considered good for a 75-year-old man. It falls within the normal range for blood pressure and is indicative of good cardiovascular health.
Yes. This is an excellent blood pressure, especially compared to the average American.
Nope
New answer: Yes that is a pretty good reading for a 58 year old male.
A blood pressure reading of 120/70 is considered normal for an 83-year-old man. It indicates that his blood pressure is within a healthy range. It's important for him to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly.
A healthy blood pressure range for a 50-year-old woman undergoing dialysis is typically around 130/80 mmHg. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine an individualized target blood pressure based on her specific health condition and medical history.
A normal blood pressure for a 55-year-old man is typically less than 120/80 mmHg. However, individual blood pressure targets may vary based on personal health history and risk factors. It is important for him to regularly monitor his blood pressure and consult with a healthcare provider to determine an appropriate target range.
The average systolic blood pressure for an 84-year-old female is around 143 mmHg. However, blood pressure can vary depending on individual health conditions, so it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
Normal blood pressure for a 27-year-old female is typically around 120/80 mmHg. However, individual variations can occur, so it's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
These numbers show high blood pressure for a 43 year old male. Blood pressure is as follows for men: Minimum 112 over 79 Average 125 over 83 Maximum 137 over 87
Yes it is good blood pressure I went to doctors yesterday mine was 98 over 72 I am a cyclist and very healthy
yes, a blood pressure reading of 122 over 88 is great for a 47 year old male. If you are having issues with the blood pressure going up at times, speak with your doctor.
yes it is
Is 113/75 a good blood pressure good for a 50 year old female
This is an acceptable resting blood pressure.
Yes. perfectly normal.
yes it is but it can be serus if you have musels
Is 179 over 113 dangerous for a 25 year old male
Yes. That is considered to be a normal reading.
A systolic blood pressure of 166 is high for a 65 year old female. Talk with your health care provider to determine if you should work to lower your systolic blood pressure, given your particular health history.
The healthy 'average' blood pressure is 120/80.
