Normal/ blood presure reading?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Normal vs average?: 120/80 has been the "textbook" answer for many years for your question and which doctors get asked every day. However, the realistic answer in my opinion is that there is a wide range: for a petit female, a blood pressure of 90/50 is normal, whereas for a big football player, 140/90 may be normal and even then there's room for debate. Ask your family doctor what's appropriate and healthy for you.
