Normal is a relative word... depends on your health situation.
What has been recently classified as optimal is <120 over <80. Take a look at this site for more info. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/dci/Diseases/Hbp/HBP_WhatIs.html BTW -- it can be treated with a pill and diet.. so don't freak out if it's high. Good luck |

There is a range in which blood pressure is considered normal. 120/80 used to be the norm about 30 years ago. The top number (systolic pressure) should be between 90 and 140 and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) should be between 60 and 90. Hope this helps.
