What are normal blood pressure values?

  • The maximum (138) is slightly higher than the optimal value.
  • The minimum (75) is within normal values.
  • The pulse (68) is normal for an adult at rest.

A single measurement isn’t enough to diagnose a problem. Blood pressure should be measured multiple times, at different times of the day and while you’re at rest.

⚠️ It is advisable to consult a doctor if:

  • blood pressure frequently exceeds 140/90 mmHg ;
  • symptoms such as severe headache, dizziness, chest pain or shortness of breath appear;
  • you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes or kidney problems.

For most adults, the goal is to keep blood pressure below 130/80 mmHg , unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
