A guide to blood pressure levels

blood pressure levels:

What the readings mean - know your numbers.

  • Less than120/80mmHg – blood pressure is at the ‘optimal’ level so follow a healthy lifestyle to keep it that way
  • 121/81 – 129/84mmHg – blood pressure is ‘average’ and you would benefit from lowering it
  • 130/85 – 139/89mmHg – blood pressure is on the ‘high side of normal blood pressure’ and should be lowered
  • 140/90mmHg or above – if readings are consistently at or above this level you have high blood pressure, take action now to lower it
