It indicates a serious problem and medical attention is needed right away.
That reading would indicate a high blood pressure, 120 over 80 would normal.
120 is an average that they use for a person's blood pressure immediately after exercise. 80 is the low that they use for rest heart rate when a person has not be recently exercising
Normal will depend from person to person, but a healthy average is 120 over 80.
usually when people get older their blood pressure gets bigger
Usually 120 over 80 but some consider 110 over 70 as the normal blood pressure.
120 over 80
Systolic and Diastolic pressure measurements are taken. Systolic is the higher pressure measurement, when the heart ventricles are contracted, and Diastolic is the lower pressure when the ventricles are filling. So if somebody's blood pressure is 120/80, then 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure
One of the vital signs of human beings, blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. It varies with the strength of the heartbeat, the elasticity of the arterial walls, the volume and viscosity of the blood, and a person's health, age, and physical condition. Normal adult blood pressure is approximately 120/8 0mm/Hg. -J
In the US and UK, the acceptable blood pressure is generally measured as 120(systolic) over 80 (diastolic). However, the desirable blood pressure is anywhere from 90-119 systolic over 60-79 diastolic. Anything above 120/80 could indicate Prehypertention, and anything below 90/60 could indicate Hypotension, both potentially serious conditions, if left untreated.
the normal blood pressure in a young adult is 120/80
is 120 over 70 a good blood pressure range
Ideally, we should all have a blood pressure below 120 over 80 (120/80). This is the ideal blood pressure for people wishing to have good health. At this level, we have a much lower risk of heart disease or stroke.
