What Is Normal Blood Pressure ?
Medical guidelines state that a normal blood pressure for most adults is a reading below 120/80 mm Hg. In general, lower is better. However, very low blood pressure can sometimes be a cause for concern and should be checked out by a doctor.
Your daily blood pressure can vary widely, so any single blood pressure monitor reading is not reliable. Blood Pressurer readings should be taken at different times of day, to determine your average blood pressure over time.
What is important is your average blood pressure, or MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) over time.
