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.
