A blood pressure reading of 137/78 is not considered high. When the top number is 140 or higher that is considered high blood pressure.
The normal blood pressure is usually between 120-140 mm Hg (systolic) and 80 - 90 mm Hg (diastolic). Anything higher will be considered as high blood pressure
the ideal BP is regarded as being 120/80
Yes. That is considered to be a normal reading.
To calculate absolute pressure when a barometer reading is given, simply add the barometer reading to the atmospheric pressure at sea level, which is approximately 101.3 kPa or 14.7 psi. This will give you the absolute pressure at the specific location where the barometer reading was taken.
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
A good blood pressure reading for the average person is Less than 120 for the systolic (top) number and less than 80 for the diastolic (bottom) number). Blood pressures between 140-150 systolic and 90-99 diastolic are considered to be Stage 1 high blood pressure. A systolic reading of 160 or higher and a diastolic of 100 or higher is considered to be Stage 2 High Blood Pressure. Higher numbers than those are considered to be a crisis and can be life threatening.
Low pressure
Gives a reading of what the pressure in the system is.
Arterial pressure
A normal intracranial pressure (ICP) reading for the brain is typically between 5-15 mmHg. Values above 20 mmHg are considered elevated and may indicate increased pressure within the skull which can lead to serious complications.
The ideal numbers for a healthy blood pressure reading are less than 120. Anything above 120 is considered high blood pressure and one should immediately see a doctor.
