120 (sys) 80 (diastolic) is the classic answer for highest normal blood pressure in adults. For adults, healthy blood pressure targets depend on health history, with lower targets for adults with certain conditions. Children's blood pressure norms are based on age and height percentile.
Blood pressure is the pressure pushed against the walls of blood vessels by the circulating blood. It's measured in systolic over diastolic pressure, and for an average adult the expected number is somewhere between 90-119/60-79.
Approximately 3/2.
Blood pressure is divided into systolic and diastolic ranges. The systolic (top number) range is between 120-139. The diastolic (bottom number) range is between 80-99. The ranges above are considered the norm regardless of pulse rate.
The upper limit for normal systolic pressure in kids aged three to five will range from 104 to 116, depending on height and gender. The upper limit for diastolic pressure will range from 63 to 74
A good arterial pressure for a healthy, young woman would range from 110 to 120 mmHg of systolic pressure, over 70 to 80 mmHg of diastolic pressure.
The desired range for blood pressure is 90-119 systolic over 60-79 diastolic. 161 over 81 is not only high, it is well within the hypertension range.
there is no constant value for blood pressure but the range is: systolic 90-120 mmHg and diastolic 60-80 mmHg
The blood pressure is quite low but no dangerously so. Also you seem to have the diastolic and systolic the wrong way round, systolic will always be the higher value, if you really are getting results that way round your measurements are flawed.
Systolic pressure (The top number) represents the pressure created during contraction of the left ventricle. Diastolic pressure (The bottom number) represents the pressure within the vascular system while the heart is at rest. Typical blood pressure range for an adult is: 110 to 140 (systolic) over 60 to 80 (diastolic)
A blood pressure test measures two values: systolic and diastolic pressure, expressed in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). The systolic pressure, the higher number, indicates the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic pressure, the lower number, reflects the pressure when the heart is at rest between beats. For example, a reading of 120/80 mm Hg is considered normal. Blood pressure categories range from normal to hypertension, with readings above 130/80 mm Hg indicating elevated blood pressure.
My doctor says this in within the normal range. We've been working on getting my diastolic down from 110. The normal range is 60-80. My systolic reading has been around 157 - but she didn't seem quite as worried at this reading. With a little adjustment in my medication 2 weeks ago; this morning it read 132.
Normal blood pressure for an adult is usually around 120/80 mmHg. The top number (systolic) indicates the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats, and the bottom number (diastolic) indicates the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
