Practically an adult: "Should be" is a loaded term... the glib answer is "anything that is similar to what it was when you were 15 & isn't causing symptoms". In reality, a 17-year-old is practically an adult. The population SBP (top number) for adults ranges 100-125 mmHg; the population DBP (bottom number) runs 70-90 mmHg (hence the "standard" 120/80). The population HR is usually 60-100 bpm at rest. See your doc.
