Hypertension- high blood pressure. (Hypotension- low blood pressure)
High blood pressure is the pressure that is placed in your arteries when the heart pumps your blood. High blood pressure is an above average pressure that could eventually lead to things like strokes or heart attacks. Blood pressure is broke down by systolic and diastolic. Systolic readings are normally the higher of the two pressures when getting your blood pressure taken. If your systolic is lower than your diastolic then you probably aren't reading this and maybe in the hospital or even dead. Diastolic is the pressure left over in the arterie after the heart refills for another pump. Giving you a lower reading. Normal blood pressure should range around 140/80. If it is higher than that it would be a good idea to start an exercise program and diet.

What is the normal blood preasure for a 20 year old?
120/80 is the ideal bloodpressure (120 being the bloodpressure at a heartbeat, 80 being the bloodpressure in between heartbeats). Small deviations are acceptable: the peak pressure should be between 110 and 140, the low tension between 70 and 90. From 140/90 up, this is considered high bloodpressure and a risk factor for diseases. A very small difference between high and low (say, 110/90) can also be an indication of a problem. By the way, if you have a lower bloodpressure than the ideal BP, consistently, and you feel healthy otherwise, don't worry about it! There just are people whose bloodpressure is always low, usually very petite females. Personally, I feel fine at 90/60, and not-so-fine at 120/80, actually... A low bloodpressure combined with a feeling of weakness and dizzyness is certainly a problem, as is a low bloodpressure after an accident or other trauma with blood loss! A very low BP can cause your brain to suffer oxygen starvation, and should be treated by a doctor immediately!
