What is the normal range for adult blood pressure in mmHg?

The normal range for adult blood pressure is considered to be 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. This range indicates that the systolic pressure (the first number, which measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart beats) can fall anywhere from 90 to 120 mmHg, while the diastolic pressure (the second number, which measures the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart rests between beats) is ideally between 60 and 80 mmHg.

Maintaining blood pressure within this range is crucial for overall cardiovascular health, as it reflects the heart's ability to pump effectively and the blood vessels' condition. Blood pressure that remains consistently above or below this normal range may indicate underlying health issues and may require medical attention.
