what is the normal blood pressure of a normal healthy man ?

Question

and whether it changes with the age and what is that lower and upper reading is called? which is more dangerous the increase of lower reading or upper reading?if i have a B.P. reading 86/150 is it normal for me as iam 58 now?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as "Normal", because, exactly as we are variously dark-haired or blond, hairy, spotty, tall, short, intelligent or stupid, -everyone is unique. The concept that there is an "ideal" standard or "normality" is the same as saying "one size fits all", and quite ridiculous. If you measure the instantaneous B/P's of 176 different people you'll get a 176 different readings -apart from coincidences.

We're all different heights, weights, skin colours, hairy, bald, baby-aged, child-aged, adolescent, young, mature, aging or old.......why on earth should any sane scientist (or doctor) think that everyone's B/P's should be the same? There never has been any evidence to support the assertion, and of course, never can be, because it's a myth.

Quite simply, your B/P's are (unless your cardiovascular system is malfunctioning) tailored to meet the unique demands of YOUR body and its organs, -not to meet any "norm" imagined by the medical profession. That's how Nature and Science work.

The pressures doctors measure are not "true pressures" generated by the heart, but merely indications, modified by the characteristics of the blood vessels (of the individuals) between the left ventricle and the brachial artery, where the doctors measure.

The readings you quote are incorrect. In fact they are reversed.

The higher reading should be roughly "100 + your age" , which it is. You're as "normal" as anyone could possibly be by which I mean exactly average for your age and condition.


Both the higher and lower ones (as measured by your doctor) APPEAR to change with age. In fact the real pressures, -generated within the heart, -probably don't, -much. They only seem to.

You're completely normal, healthy, and at no real observable risk.

Be content, and enjoy your good health!

Answer 2

You should read "The Blood Pressure Solution" (also available in electronic format, watch the video presentation here: http://www.fixbloodpressure.com ) It's a very comprehensive step-by-step book that walks you through the natural remedies of high blood pressure. It provides you with a lot of information on what foods to eat, how you can acquire and prepare these foods, how you can change your lifestyle for the better, how to eliminate the toxins from your body, how to reduce stress, how you can check your blood pressure level the correct way etc.

The book is amazing in that it not only lowers your blood pressure without the help of medications; it also aids you in having a life that is healthy, happier, and less stressful. This book chanced my life.

Answer 4

Are you sure your BP is correct? Im thinking you must mean 150/86. The top number is systolic, or the pressure of blood in your arteries during a heart beat, and the bottom number is diastolic or the pressure in your arteries between heart beats. The bottom number is the most important as it shows how stretchable your vessels are. In general, as you age your blood vessels become less elastic and thus your blood pressure increases. Current reccomendations are that your blood pressure be at or below 120/80 and this includes during times of stress. Any pressure above this begins to cause damage. 150/86 is high blood pressure, but for an accurate diagnosis, you must have a pressure above 120/80 on 3 different blood pressure readings. If you are concerned about your blood pressure i strongly reccomend you discuss this with your healthcare provider and begin and exercise and diet program to improve overall health.

Answer 5

Blood pressure refers to the force exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels, and constitutes one of the principal vital signs. The pressure of the circulating blood decreases as blood moves through arteries, arterioles, capillaries, and veins; the term blood pressure generally refers to arterial blood pressure, i.e., the pressure in the larger arteries, arteries being the blood vessels which take blood away from the heart. Blood pressure is most commonly measured via a sphygmomanometer, which uses the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure (see Non-invasive measurement). Although many modern blood pressure devices no longer use mercury, blood pressure values are still universally reported in millimetres of mercury (mmHg).

The systolic pressure is defined as the peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle; the diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure (at the resting phase of the cardiac cycle). The average pressure throughout the cardiac cycle is reported as mean arterial pressure; the pulse pressure reflects the difference between the maximum and minimum pressures measured.

Typical values for a resting, healthy adult human are approximately 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic (written as 120/80 mmHg, and spoken as "one twenty over eighty"), with large individual variations. These measures of blood pressure are not static, but undergo natural variations from one heartbeat to another and throughout the day (in a circadian rhythm); they also change in response to stress, nutritional factors, drugs, or disease. Hypertension refers to blood pressure being abnormally high, as opposed to hypotension, when it is abnormally low.
