Normal blood pressure for an adult is typically defined as around 120/80 mmHg. The first number, systolic pressure, measures the force of blood against the artery walls when the heart beats, while the second number, diastolic pressure, measures the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. Blood pressure can vary with factors such as age, activity level, and overall health, but consistently higher readings may indicate hypertension, while lower readings could suggest hypotension.

Medication may also be contra-indicated by any number of factors unique to the individual.
