At your age around 120/ 80 is perfect...but when you get your bloodpressure taken be sure to look at the following aspects. There are many causes, infections, stress, not relaxed enough, not eating well, to much sodium, too much coffee and sodas, not enough wate intake, hormonal imbalance, illnesses….you mention it. When you take your blood pressure, Sit still, relax for 5 minutes and do not talk. Visualize that your blood pressure is low. Nervousness before your blood pressure is taken will influence your blood pressure it is called white coat syndrome.
Yesterday I did a test with a 49 old gentleman, he had an infection in his lip, was stressed out because his wife is very sick, has bills to pay…etc. He had the same question so I took his blood pressure 155/98 too high. I asked him to relax and lay down for 5 minutes and no talk. I repeated the blood pressure again it was 144/89. I did EFT on his. Emotional Freedom Technique. Which takes me a minute? Simple easy acupressure points with affirmations. His blood pressure, still having his infection, came down in 2 ½ minutes to 136/73. He was so relieved and grateful. So funny you ask this question now. See source for more recipes on high blood pressure and enjoy your life learn EFT , to get a better life and save on trips to doctors, psychiatrist, counselors etc.

The old standards stated that Systolic blood pressure (top reading) should remain below 140 and the diastolic pressure (bottom number) should remain below 90.
New guidelines are in place. It is now recommended systolic blood pressure be below 120 and diastolic blood pressure be below 80. Research has shown that "pre-hypertension" (systolic between 120-130 or diastolic between 80-90) can have significant affects on cardiovascular health.

The so called experts think 120/80 is normal. As long as the lower number is now higher than 90 and the upper number no higher than 140 you should be ok. But the lower the better.
