What is a normal blood pressure for my age at 47?

120/80: Normal NORMAL blood pressure is 120/80. As we age, both numbers can drift up, so 130/80 wouldn't be too worrisome although lower is better. If your bottom number is going up (90 or more) then you are starting to show some sign your body is reacting to a higher than normal blood pressure, and it is time to ask about how to prevent its going even higher. See your provider.

Depends: Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries produced when the heart contracts when the heart beats. Diastolic pressure refers to pressure in the arteries during relaxation of the heart between heart beats. Normal blood pressure. less than 120 over less than 80. Prehypertension 121-139 over 81 to 89 Stage 1 HTN 140 to 159 over 90 to 99. Stage 2 HTN greater than 160 over greater than 100.

Normal or Healthy?: (Normal means average/common; does not mean healthy.) Healthy (at all ages beyond mid-teenage) is sitting, resting (about 10 min. rest or more) Systolic (top number) <120 mmHg (e.g. 105-110 mmHg) & Diastolic (bottom number) about 40 mmHg lower. Which more powerfully correlates with ↑ed cardiovascular disease & mortality rates? The systolic (persistently widened pulse pressure even more so).
