Normal blood pressure for a general adult is typically around 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury).

🩺 Understanding Normal Blood Pressure

• The first number (systolic) measures pressure when the heart beats; normal is about 120 mmHg.
• The second number (diastolic) measures pressure when the heart rests between beats; normal is about 80 mmHg.
• Blood pressure consistently above 130/80 mmHg may indicate hypertension (high blood pressure).

🩺 When to See a Doctor

• Regular monitoring is important to maintain healthy blood pressure.
• Consult a cardiologist if readings are frequently above normal or if you have symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or chest pain.
• Managing blood pressure helps reduce risks of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular issues.
