Normal BP Range — Blood Pressure Chart by Age & Category

Healthy range. Keep it here with regular exercise, less salt, healthy weight and no tobacco. Recheck at least once a year (every visit if you have diabetes or kidney disease)

Below 90/60 is low BP — only a concern if you have dizziness, fainting or weakness

Not yet hypertension, but a warning sign — BP is likely to rise further. Start lifestyle changes: salt under 5 g/day, 30 minutes of walking most days, weight loss, limit alcohol. Recheck in 3–6 months

Bringing systolic back below 120 returns you to the normal range

High BP (ACC/AHA). Confirm with home readings. Lifestyle changes for everyone; your doctor may start medicine if you have diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease or high overall heart risk

Indian and European guidelines call this "high-normal" rather than hypertension — but it still needs lifestyle changes and monitoring

Definite high BP by all major guidelines (Indian guidelines use ≥140/90 to diagnose hypertension). See a doctor — most people need BP medicine along with lifestyle changes. Uncontrolled, it raises the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage

With treatment, the usual target is below 130/80 for most adults (your doctor may set a different target)

With chest pain, breathlessness, severe headache, confusion, weakness/numbness, blurred vision or difficulty speaking — this is a medical emergency; go to the nearest emergency department immediately

Without symptoms: rest 5 minutes and recheck. If it is still above 180/120, contact your doctor the same day — do not wait

Low readings without symptoms are often normal, especially in young, fit people

With dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, confusion or cold clammy skin — may be due to dehydration, bleeding, severe infection, heart problems or BP medicines. Needs medical evaluation; sudden severe low BP is an emergency

Readings of 130/80 or more at a young age are not "normal for age" — check for obesity, excess salt, alcohol, stress, kidney or hormonal causes

Readings around 90–100/60 are common in healthy young adults, especially women, and are fine if you feel well

BP tends to rise in middle age, but a rise is not harmless. Check BP at least once a year and every 3–6 months if you have diabetes, obesity or a family history

Low readings with dizziness on standing may be due to BP or diabetes medicines — tell your doctor

Systolic rises with age as arteries stiffen (isolated systolic hypertension is common). It still raises stroke and heart risk and should be treated

Older adults are prone to BP dropping on standing (orthostatic hypotension), which causes falls — targets may be relaxed if you are frail or get dizzy on medicine

High BP in children is often linked to obesity or an underlying kidney, heart or hormonal problem — needs paediatric evaluation

Young children normally have lower BP than adults (roughly 90–110 systolic); low BP only matters with symptoms

≥140/90 on two readings needs prompt evaluation; after 20 weeks with protein in urine it may be pre-eclampsia. 160/110 or higher, or BP with headache, blurred vision or upper abdominal pain, needs urgent care

BP naturally dips in the first and second trimester; dizziness should be reported to your gynaecologist

Above 60 mmHg, especially in older adults, suggests stiff arteries and higher heart risk

Very narrow pulse pressure (less than a quarter of the systolic value) can occur with heart failure, severe blood loss or valve narrowing
