What is a normal blood pressure for a 47 year old man?

Answer 1

Ideal blood pressure varies with age, heredity, time of day, nicotine intake and other factors. Any consistent readings higher than 140 systolic (high number) or 90 diastolic are cause for concern in a man your age. See your doctor. She will want you to get it down to around 130/80, preferably lower. This can be achieved in a variety of ways.

Answer 2

In adults, the ideal bottom number (systolic pressure) should be less than 120 mmHg. The top number (diastolic pressure) should be less than 80 mmHg.

Answer 3

The ideal blood pressure would be 120 over 80, but 130 over 85 would also be considered "normal". 140 over 90 and up would be considered a bit high, while anything from 160 over 100 and up would require medical attention from time to time. However, blood pressure often increases with age.
