To be considered normal, an individual needs to have a systolic pressure less than 120, and a diastolic pressure under 80, or 120/80 mmHg.

  • Prehypertension is classified as 120-139/80-89.
  • High blood pressure stage 1 is 140-159/90-99.
  • High blood pressure stage 2 is 160+/100+.

As for heart rate, a normal individual has a resting heart rate within 60-100 bpm.

Normal resting heart rates for most people are 60-80 bmp. "Resting" means lying down, relaxed, not having done anything strenous recently. So, a resting pulse rate for 79 is perfectly normal. Conditioned athletes might have a much lower resting pulse rate. 100bmp and higher is considered tachycardia, although for some people, this could just be normal. Always consult your doctor before worrying yourself to death over this. :)
