Is having blood pressure of 166 over 80 normal for an 18 year old female?

Answer 1

Some people run lower than others on blood pressure. If your not having any symptoms as in dizziness, seeing spots, feeling faint than you are fine. Considered great bp( blood pressure) is 120 over 80.

Answer 2

The normal blood pressure for an 18 year old female is about 120 / 80, but could range from about 110 / 70 to 125 / 85. These are all "at rest" and do NOT apply to times of exercise, pain, or stress. It is normal for your blood pressure to be higher during those times. See "Related Links" (below) for more information.

Answer 3

No, 166/80 for an 18-year old is not normal. Please see your doctor for evaluation and medical plan to reduce your B/P number (the top number, the systolic, needs to come down).

Some people do have transient high B/P readings-- example, one reading after heavy exercise or running. However, an 18-year old should still see a doctor if a B/P is 166/80.

Answer 4

The "normal" BP for an adult is 120/80 but there really is no such thing as norma. BP's vary from person to person.

Answer 5

That's excellent. The Norm is 120/80 for adults.
