Approximately 3/2.
Resting blood pressure for a male (optimum) is 120/70. It will be elevated after exercise or a stressful event.
"Normal" blood pressure is somewhere between 90/60 and 140/90. Systolic - the top number Diastolic - the bottom number Systolic pressure is when the heart is contracted and squeezing blood out of the heart. Diastolic pressure is when the heart is relaxed and letting blood flow into the heart.
Your systole and diastole (or systolic and diastolic pressure). Systolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart pumps out blood while diastolic pressure is the pressure your blood exerts on blood vessels when your heart is at rest(in between pumps). Blood pressure is stated as systolic pressure/diastolic pressure. The normal BP is 120/80 mmHg.
Systolic under 120, Diastolic below 80
Normal systolic from 121-147 Normal diastolic from 83-91
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
Normal blood pressure levels are around 120 systolic and 70 diastolic. But the safe zone starts at 90 (low normal) up to 140 (high normal) on the systolic and 60 (low normal) up to 90 (borderline) with the diastolic. Much of it also depends on the individual and their height and weight as well.
I found this on http://healthfullife.umdnj.edu - Optimum blood pressure - less than 120 millimeters of mercury systolic and less than 80 millimeters of mercury diastolic - Normal blood pressure - 120 to 129 millimeters of mercury systolic, 80 to 84 millimeters of mercury diastolic - High normal - 130 to 139 millimeters of mercury systolic, 85 to 89 millimeters of mercury diastolic
yes but maybe a little low in the systolic pressure
The systolic number is always higher than the diastolic number. 120 or lower for systolic number and 80 or lower for diastolic is in normal range. If diastolic is high, say 95 after running - is ita high? and if what should one do?
Normal blood pressure is given in two numbers. The systolic pressure, or number on the top, is the measurement of how hard the heart is beating at the hardest part of the pump. The diastolic, or bottom number, is the measurement of the pressure at the time when the heart is relaxed. The numbers typically recognized as "perfect" are 120/80. If the systolic pressure goes above 140 it is considered high blood pressure. The diastolic should not go above 100 for normal pressure.
Blood pressure measurements are a combination of the systolic and diastolic pressure. Ideally, blood pressure should be under 120 in the systolic measurement and 80 in the diastolic measurement, commonly notated as 120 over 80.
