   That is a perfectly normal number for your age. The top number, or systolic reading is how much pressure is in your arteries at the time your heart is beating. The bottom number or dystolic reading, is how much pressure is in your arteries while your heart is at rest between beats. A normal reading for you may not be normal for someone else. Everyone has their own parameters. I am 38 and my b/p is usually 110/78. So high for me, would be 140/90, but may be someone else’s usual b/p. Hope this makes sense to you!

   How tall are you? You sound normal to me, I have low Blood pressure, I am average 88/55, I am 6 foot, 114 lbs. and I am 28 yrs old. Its far better to have low blood pressure, then High blood pressure.

   The 1st Number: Systolic pressure is the pressure generated when the heart contracts.

   The 2nd Number: Diastolic pressure is the blood pressure when the heart is relaxed.

   "What is Normal Blood Pressure? Buy and use an automatic blood pressure monitor. Compare your BP reading with the numbers on the chart above. Draw a line from your systolic pressure to your diastolic pressure. Is the slope of the line about the same as shown on the chart? Where do YOU fit in? What are your risk factors?
   Are your blood pressure readings within the normal blood pressure range? Should you take anti-hypertension medication to lower your blood pressure?"

   "Normal human daily Blood Pressure Range can vary widely, so any single blood pressure monitor reading is not reliable. BP monitor readings must be taken at different times of day, to determine AVERAGE blood pressure levels over time.

   What is important is your AVERAGE BP, or MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) over time. Or, where are those numbers sitting MOST of the time? Normal MAP is about 93 mm of mercury."

   I am not on any meds for my low Blood pressure, I just get to eat a lot more salt then everyone else, I love salt.

   Best Wish’s,

   But the standard is for ages 18 and older. I think your blood pressure is normal.
