A healthy blood pressure range would be 120/80. Often if your blood pressure is higher than this you will be told you have high blood pressure and anything lower would be low blood pressure. If your blood pressure is over 140 then you should take steps to reduce this.

Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure below 120 over 80 (120/80). This is the ideal blood pressure for people wishing to have good health. At this level, we have a much lower risk of heart disease or stroke.
