This would be within the normal range for an adult diastolic resting blood pressure.
A blood pressure reading of 108 over 68 is generally considered to be within the normal range for adults, including a thin 68-year-old woman. This reading indicates that the systolic pressure (108) is well below 120, and the diastolic pressure (68) is below 80, suggesting good cardiovascular health. However, it's always best for individuals to consult with their healthcare provider for personalized assessments and recommendations.
A blood pressure reading this low can lead to heart failure. There is likely heart disease or some other serious condition present that the person has to cause this reading.
b. systolic 120-139, diastolic 80-89
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 lowest acceptable diastolic reading for adults is generally considered to be around 60 mmHg. Readings below this level may indicate hypotension, which can lead to insufficient blood flow to organs. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional if diastolic readings are consistently low, as individual health conditions can influence what is considered normal.
Obviously below sixty, but it is not possible to gauge diastolic pressure by palpation.
Yes, a blood pressure reading of 123 systolic and 80 diastolic is generally considered normal for a 71-year-old man. According to the American Heart Association, normal blood pressure is defined as systolic less than 120 and diastolic less than 80, but readings up to 130/80 are still classified as elevated. Therefore, the reading of 123/80 falls within an acceptable range for older adults. However, it's always best for individuals to consult their healthcare provider for personalized health assessments.
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?
Diastolic
60-100mmHg for a healthy adult.
Diastolic pressure is the bottom number in a blood pressure reading, indicating the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. It represents the minimum pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle. A normal diastolic pressure is typically less than 80 mmHg.
