The American Heart Association defines the normal systolic pressure for an adult at rest as 90 up to 119 mmHg, while the normal diastolic pressure for an adult at rest is defined as 60-79. As such, any value between 90/60 and 119/79 can be considered a normal blood pressure for adults in general. However, values can vary greatly between individuals.

In addition, many factors can cause a temporarily raise or decrease your blood pressure. Exercise, diet, stress or fear can cause sudden and temporary changes in blood pressure. Always consider at least three measurements taken at least a week apart when evaluating your blood pressure.
