130/80: An average blood pressure of 130/80 or less is ideal.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Your : Your top number (systolic blood pressure) should be less than 120 and your bottom number (diastolic blood pressure) should be less than 80.  I attached a web site below that goes into depth about high blood pressure and blood pressure ranges.  Good luck!

Question 3

hello i'm a 27 year old female good health recently had my blood pressure checked and the reading have been low 90/55 my recent 93/55 is this normal ?

Accepted Answer

Likely benign: If you have no other medical conditions and no symptoms that blood pressure is fine.  Other symptoms would include lightheadedness, particularly when you are getting up.  Other medical conditions would include known valvular heart disease or hormonal disease.  If you have no other symptoms I wouldn't be concerned.  If you develop symptoms or something changes, contact a health care provider.

Question 6

what is normal or good blood pressure for 56 year old white male. i exercise daily. maybe even toi much. my reading this morning 128/72 49 paulse.?

Accepted Answer

That's good: That's dang good for a 56 yr old. Ideal is on average 120/80 though studies have showed some lower is better. The key is monitoring, healthy weight, and a healthy diet.

Question 7

good evening. my average blood pressure  24 hr reading was 169/99
i took 2  lisinopril 10mg  . blood pressure now dropped to 114/71 in 36hrs  ????

Accepted Answer

BP meds: This is an expected drop in blood pressure after taking lisinopril. The efficacy of blood pressure medications depends on the cause and can be variable between patients.  This is on the higher side ("high" drop in blood pressure).  If you have symptoms of LOW BP (dizziness, blurry vision, weakness, nausea, sweating) then you may skip the next dose and notify your doctor.  Kudos for monitoring!

Question 8

high blood pressure. take 80mg aspirin few times weekly. if i stop is that dangerous? take blood pressure medication and pressure readings are good.

Accepted Answer

Recent: Recent studies have shown with no history of heart issues taking baby asprin a day did not prevent a first heart attack.However for 30 plus years some research shows does decrease colon cancer.See primary and discuss risk of aspein vs benefit to come to decisions.Therefore,if no heart  or stroke issues and if someone is taking just on their own without a doctor recommendation,then-safe to stop it

Question 9

i am 68 years i am puzzled by my blood pressure readings. my dystolic is very regular & low, 80% of the time between 67 and 72; but my systolic is all over the place, averaging at 132 but sometimes up to 160 sometimes down to 110. why?

Accepted Answer

: Blood pressure will change moment to moment depending on your activity levels, hydration state, level of stress, time of day, state of arousal, and general health. The method used and the measuring device is critical for an accurate reading. A doppler electronic device attached to a large wide cuff on your upper arm is ideal. For medical purposes the lowest pressure of the day is all that matters.

Question 10

my blood pressure and pulse has flip flopped this week but never been as low as it is today. these are my readings 113/55 p 69, 114/59p 68, 115/57p65. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Blood pressure: Not knowing your medical history or normal BP measurements, these BP readings sound ok. Low normal. If you are feel light headed or fainting, i would see your physician in the am. If your are feeling fine, then i would call your physician to see if they want to adjust your BP medications.
