normal blood pressure
The "normal" blood pressure band for adults goes up to 129 mmHg systolic and 84 mmHg diastolic, sitting just above the "optimal" band (up to 119/79) and below prehypertension (130 to 139, or 85 to 89). This page opens the calculator with a 125/82 mmHg reading, a typical example of normal blood pressure.
One mmHg below where the "normal" band starts.
Still normal. One more mmHg on either number already crosses into prehypertension.
Systolic (the higher number) is the pressure in your arteries the moment your heart contracts and pumps blood. Diastolic (the lower number) is the pressure between beats, when the heart relaxes and refills. Both are measured in mmHg and shown together, like 120/80.
No. This calculator classifies hypotension separately, generally below 90/60 mmHg. Between hypotension and the "optimal" band there is a middle zone that is also considered healthy, without falling into either extreme classification.
No, blood pressure varies throughout the day and from one day to the next. A normal reading is a good point-in-time sign, but regular tracking (and, ideally, the average of several home readings) is what gives a reliable picture over time.
This calculator is an educational tool. It does not replace a doctor's evaluation, should not be used to adjust hypertension treatment on your own, and a single reading is never enough to diagnose anything. If you have symptoms (chest pain, shortness of breath, vision changes, trouble speaking), seek medical care immediately.
Quick tip: measure while sitting, with your arm resting at heart height, after at least 5 minutes of rest and without having had coffee, smoked, or exercised beforehand.
Blood pressure within the range considered normal for adults.
An estimate of the average pressure in the arteries across a full heartbeat cycle.
