Normal is 120/80.

We start to call it high (hypertension) when it is 140/90 (either number).

Anything in between is "prehypertension" and a signal to try to eat well (lower sodium), control your weight, and get regular exercise.

The latest evidence suggests that a blood pressure below 120/80 is "normal". Obviously, blood pressures that are much lower than that can be problematic, too. Blood pressures between 120/80 and 140/90 are classified as "pre-hypertension". Pressures above that represent true hypertension or "high blood pressure". A single high or low blood pressure does not necessarily mean that you have a blood pressure problem. Everyone's blood pressure rises and falls throughout the day and in response to certain stimuli. In order to minimize this effect, you should have three different measurements on three different days at three different times of day. Then you should average them to get a better idea of your true blood pressure.

Blood pressure, usually measured by an instrument called a sphygmomanometer is expressed in two figures.

a) on contraction- the systolic pressure

b) on relaxation- the diastolic pressure

For adults, a normal reading can be anywhere from 120/80 to 140/90. Readings that are consistently 140/90 or above are considered high. High blood pressure (hypertension) is 140/90 or above. Very high blood pressure (hypertension) is 180/110 or above.
