What is the range for high blood pressure?
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.
What should human blood pressure be?
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.
What is consider high blood pressure?
High blood pressure is measured as two numbers, systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. Any reading of 140/90 or higher is considered high blood pressure.

Is 100 over 80 a good blood pressure for a 43 yr old female?
For a 50 year old i would say it is very good and 100 over 80 is considered to be slightly lower blood pressure. The ideal blood pressure for healthy people is 120 systolic over 80 diastolic. But as we grow old, it is normal for the systolic pressure to decrease below 120.
120 over 80 blood pressure what is the first number?
The first number is called your systolic blood pressure and the second is called your diastolic. The Systolic is the pressure in your arteries when the ventricles are contracting - so it is the maximum pressure that the heart exerts on the arteries. The diastolic is the pressure when the heart is relaxed - so it is the minimum amount of pressure.
What is the normal blood pressure of an elderly person?

Ideal blood pressure for 64 year old female?
Normal blood pressure for any adult is less then 120/80. Hypertension is any blood pressure over 140/90. Hypertension is not diagnosed with a single reading, however, as the diagnosis of hypertension is dependent on a persistence of high blood pressure. For this reason, hypertension is only diagnosed and treated if the blood pressure is elevated over 140/90 on three separate readings on three separate days.
Is 197 over 97 blood pressure ok for 66 male?
To be honest that is a little high, I'd say see your Doctor promptly to get it to a more ideal number.
What do the numbers 120 over 80 refer to?
blood pressure or BP, 120 refers to the amount of pressure produced when the ventricles of the heart contract and 80 refers to the pressure in the blood vessels (normally measured via the brachial artery in the humerus) when the heart is at resting. 120/80 is known as the ideal blood pressure.
What is normal blood pressure level for 64 years male?
There are two number involved in blood pressure--the ideal top number (systolic pressure) should be less than 120 and the ideal lower number should be (diastolic pressure) should be less than 80. So the ideal pressure should be 120/70 or so. You have "pre-hypertension" or borderline high blood pressure if the top number is consistently 120 to 139 or the bottom number reads 80 to 89. You have hypertension or high blood pressure if the top number is consistently 160 or over or the bottom number reads 100 or over. You have low blood pressure (not a good thing either!) if the top number reading is lower than 90 or the pressure is 25 mmHg lower than usual. I suggest you check out the links recommended by the National Library of Medicine website, MedlinePlus (http://medlineplus.gov). This site has links that explains high blood pressure http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/highbloodpressure.html. This site has links that explain low blood pressure http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/lowbloodpressure.html These ideal numbers remain "ideal" whatever your age or whether you are male or female. So, the normal "good" or "ideal" blood pressure should be around 120/70 or 120/80.
Is 135 over 76 over 96 a good blood pressure for a 63 year old female?
The 68 is good. 131 is a little higher than ideal- 120 is the usual goal.
