What is Normal

Normal blood pressure is typically defined as:

Systolic Pressure (Top Number): Less than 120 mmHg
Diastolic Pressure (Bottom Number): Less than 80 mmHg

So, a normal blood pressure reading would be: Less than 120/80 mmHg

Here's a breakdown of blood pressure categories:

Blood Pressure Categories (Adults):

1. Normal: Less than 120/80 mmHg
2. Elevated: 120-129/80 mmHg
3. Stage 1 Hypertension: 130-139/80-89 mmHg
4. Stage 2 Hypertension: 140 or higher/90 or higher mmHg
5. Crisis: 180 or higher/120 or higher mmHg (requires immediate medical attention)

Blood Pressure Categories (Children and Adolescents):

1. Normal: Less than 90th percentile for age, sex, and height
2. Elevated: 90th-95th percentile
3. Stage 1 Hypertension: 95th-99th percentile + 5 mmHg
4. Stage 2 Hypertension: 99th percentile + 5 mmHg

Factors That Can Affect Blood Pressure:

1. Age
2. Sex
3. Weight
4. Physical activity level
5. Diet (sodium, potassium, calcium)
6. Stress
