What is a good blood pressure?

Answer by  JenniferLW (81)

The textbook answer for a good blood pressure is 120/80. While this is a number that individuals often strive for, a couple points above or below these numbers are often still considered healthy. If you have any questions about your blood pressure, I encourage you to consult with your doctor.

The numbers have changed over the years - but now they are saying the "best" blood pressure rating is 110 over 70.

For most people, normal blood pressure is 120/80. Doctors usually want to start treating it if it's any higher than that.
