they say 140/60 , but it all depends on each individual.

The average adult blood pressure is 120/80. 110/70 is considered a "good low" blood pressure, and 90/60 is when doctors start getting concerned about your blood pressure being too low. 140/90 is when doctors start getting concerned about blood pressure being too high, and 160/100 is DANGER ZONE.
Sounds like your BP machine is a little screwy. You'd be better off getting a sphygmomenometer (sp?) and a stethoscope and learning how to take blood pressure readings the old-fashioned way. According to a nurse friend of mine, the old "hand pump" method is more accurate than the machines are.

A adult 140/90
No. You probably need to check it over,or u probably just have low blood pressure. When u have low blood pressure u need help as well.Like someone with high blood pressure. Your organs is not getting enough oxygen. But just check it on the other arm when u check on the right and it don't seem right check it on the left arm.

to be very frank there are certain laid down but it varies from person to person with varying age and so as the symptoms.
normally in armed forces 130/90 mm Hg is taken as good or average that is the maximum upper limit. anything above is classified as hypertensive.

120/80 is the norm
the lower couldn't be 30 since the kidneys stop working at 40
