Answer 5

For a normal person, it should be 120/80.

But anything above 135/90 is considered to be High BP.

Answer 6

Your blood pressure reading appears as a larger number over a smaller number.  The top number is the systolic reading and the bottom number is the diastolic reading.

Normal      

<120 / <80

Prehypertension

120-139 / 80-89

Stage 1 Hypertension

140-159 / 90-99

Stage 2 Hypertension

≥160 / ≥100

I think the highest blood pressure I've seen so far at the hospital (I'm a Certified Nurse Aide) is about 220/110.  I found another chart online that goes up to 230/140 (which would be VERY severe hypertension - high blood pressure).
