Depends!: In the past, we aimed for the lowest blood pressure you could tolerate w/o any side effects. In other words, as low as possible w/o passing out or feeling weak & woozy. In reality, most patients only achieve <140/90 which recent studies have demonstrated appears to be good enough. In fact, more recent studies suggest that achieving less than 130/80 if diabetic doesn't improve outcomes.

Blood Pressure: Blood pressure on antihypertensive meds can be as low as 90/60, as long as patients do not feel dyzzy or lightheaded.
