Variable: Get a device and take it regularly and make a record. Varies with exercise, diet, age etc. Low is less than 90 and symptomatic High is greater than 150 systolic and 90 diastolic on a regular basis. See new AHA guidelines for the science. As you see your personal numbers your anxiety will likely go away!
