Normal blood pressure varies slightly by age, but the general guideline for healthy adults is:
📊 Standard (for most adults)
- Normal: around 120/80 mmHg
- Elevated: 120–129 / less than 80
- High (Hypertension): 130/80 or higher
👶👦 Children & Teens
- Varies by age, height, and gender
- Rough idea:
- Children: ~90–110 / 55–75
- Teens: ~100–120 / 60–80
🧑 Adults (18–59)
- Ideal: <120/80
- Slight increase with age can happen, but should still stay below 130/80
👴 Older Adults (60+)
- Acceptable range:
- Around 120–130 / 70–80
- Doctors may allow slightly higher depending on health, but usually aim to keep it controlled
⚠️ When to worry
- Consistently above 130/80 → possible high blood pressure
- Above 180/120 → emergency
- Below 90/60 → may be low blood pressure (if symptoms present)
💡 Important
- One reading doesn’t mean much—check multiple times
- Measure when relaxed, not after stress or exercise
- Lifestyle (diet, salt, exercise, stress) affects your numbers
If you tell me your age and recent reading, I can interpret it specifically for you 👍
