Blood Pressure

[KathH]

Please can you tell me what the numbers are for low, medium and high blood pressure. Many thanks in advance. Kath

Low and medium.....I don't recognise these as useful or desirable.

High blood pressure..top figure 140 (systolic) loser figure 80 or below (diastolic)

What are you really asking ?

My Nurse told me that as long as the top number was under 100 + your age =.
and the bottom number was under 100 you were fine.

I don't think so! Would hate my upper one to be 99 + 64 + 163!!!! my BP nurse would be horrified!

Your gp will advise you if your bp is correct
