What is high blood pressure and what is low blood pressure?

Pathophysiologic: There are averages and no absolutely fixed blood pressure numbers. Whether a blood pressure is too high or low derpends on the health of the individual and what is occurring medically at the time the blood pressure is checked.

Some people tolerate: "higher" #'s & others "lower" #'s. I've always thought normal was about 90-110/60-70.. Major organizations use different #'s, go to american heart association to see what they say (which i disagree with). www.thepmc.org.
