b. systolic 120-139, diastolic 80-89
A blood pressure reading of 137/78 is not considered high. When the top number is 140 or higher that is considered high blood pressure.
The normal blood pressure is usually between 120-140 mm Hg (systolic) and 80 - 90 mm Hg (diastolic). Anything higher will be considered as high blood pressure
the ideal BP is regarded as being 120/80
Yes. That is considered to be a normal reading.
You do nothing. The reading from the barometer is absolute pressure.
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).
A good blood pressure reading for the average person is Less than 120 for the systolic (top) number and less than 80 for the diastolic (bottom) number). Blood pressures between 140-150 systolic and 90-99 diastolic are considered to be Stage 1 high blood pressure. A systolic reading of 160 or higher and a diastolic of 100 or higher is considered to be Stage 2 High Blood Pressure. Higher numbers than those are considered to be a crisis and can be life threatening.
Low pressure
Gives a reading of what the pressure in the system is.
Arterial pressure
The ideal numbers for a healthy blood pressure reading are less than 120. Anything above 120 is considered high blood pressure and one should immediately see a doctor.
