A normal blood pressure for most adults is considered to be a systolic pressure of less than 120 and a diastolic pressure of less than 80. Blood pressure readings are expressed as two numbers, separated by a slash. The top number is the systolic pressure, which represents the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom number is the diastolic pressure, which represents the pressure in your arteries when your heart rests between beats.
It's important to note that these are just general guidelines, and individual blood pressure goals may vary depending on factors such as age, health conditions, and medications. For example, people with diabetes or cardiovascular disease may have a different blood pressure goal than someone with no underlying health conditions. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional to determine your individual blood pressure goal.
