It would depend on whether or not you had this reading on a fairly regular basis. The systolic number of 165 is higher than normal and should be evaluated by a doctor.
Yes, this was my results as well and this is normal. Close to low but normal.
Absolutely not! 120 is normal. Hypertension at 162
Yes. That is a good blood pressure for sure.
It is a little on the low side. You might want to get checked out by your doctor.
If your blood pressure is 167/64, your diastolic pressure is normal, but your systolic pressure is high (above 110-120). Espe this pattern of high/low pressure reading is called "isolated systolic hypertension" or ISH. Most of this is due to ateriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, where the vessels lose their ability to stretch. Specific antihypertensive medications such as clonidine are often used to treat this condition.
Blood pressure of 140/73 might not require medication, but it does require some attention. Some simple lifestyle alterations, such as a minor change to your diet, or slightly adjusting your exercise routine could be all you need. Run "high blood pressure" through your favourite search engine. You'll come up with plenty of information. Check your blood pressure regularly at one of those machines you often see in drug stores, and have your doctor check it a few times a year as well.
The top number in the blood pressure fraction is the Systolic pressure, or the amount of pressure put on the walls of the arteries during the contraction and ejection of blood from the left ventricle. The bottom number is called the Diastolic Pressure and it means the lowest pressure in an artery in the moments between beats when your heart is resting.
65 x 8 = 520
Yes it is good - but could be better. However, check it regularly, the ideal is to be under 120/80, but if you are under 140/90 you are classed as pre-hypertensive. In your case your systolic is 131 so you fall into that class. You don't need drugs yet , but you should take actions to ensure that you live a BP friendly lifestyle. Take alcohol in moderation, quit smoking, lose weight, cut salt intake, increase exercise etc, whichever applies to you.
Often , I noticed my diatolic prssure looked higher than normal as 121/109,129/111, 130/110. I have been taking Norvasc 10mg in every mornings and take 2~ capsules of Altace 10mg at bedtime. Without meds for 1 month , my bp made aveaged as 161/111 77.... no chest pain ... Once a while , my heart beat was heavy beating ~ breathed ok . no pain . I felt that my heart needs to be relax and slow beatings . Any idea? Yes, my family runs hypertension . no diabetic.
It is slighlty a little bit on the upper limit of normal. Your Diastolic is approximately 2/3 of systolic - which will be 64 in this case. your BP value is an interplay of a lot of factors and to interprete this particular value 96/73, the knowledge of your previous BP will be important. my advice: check it again, then repeat it about 3 times daily to vary with when you are relaxed, exercised, standing, sitting etc. if you are not satisfied with what you get, contact your doc.

Normal blood pressure is 120 over 80.Low blood pressure is 90 over 60.Your diastolic pressure is bit low
ok and
Not if it is above the posted limit.
Yeah, you're well within normal blood pressure range for an adult or a kid. Average range is between 90-140 systolic and 60-90 diastolic. It's on the low end of the spectrum, but it's still good.
No, this is not OK. If your blood pressure continues to stay at this level, or some where similar, you definitely need to get medical attention. The Doctor may decide to prescribe Blood Pressure Medication to help control this problem. Normal Blood Pressure is generally Systolic (top number) less than 120 Diastolic (bottom number) less than 80 The following is based on the average adult over the age of 18, with no major health problems. Systolic/Diastolic Normal (as stated above) Pre-hypertension 120-139/80-99 Stage 1 High Blood Pressure 140-159/90-99 Stage 2 High Blood Pressure 160+/100+ If your blood pressure stays in these area's, please contact a Doctor in order to determine if medication may be needed to help control your blood pressure. This is very dangerous as it can cause many health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, heart attack, and death.
