A blood pressure chart is set up to show the different ranges of systolic pressureblood pressure chart and diastolic pressure. Systolic pressure represents the blood pressure level as the heart is contracting, and the diastolic pressure shows the blood pressure level as the heart is expanding. Doctors consider a ‘normal’ blood pressure level to be around 120 / 80 mm Hg, which meets the standards that systolic and diastolic pressure levels should be at around 40 points difference. The chart correlates the different ranges of systolic pressure and diastolic pressure to either low blood pressure, normal blood pressure, or high blood pressure. The blood pressure chart also shows suggested blood pressure levels corresponding to your age. The purpose of this chart isn’t to tell you exactly what your blood pressure levels need to be, but rather to give a visual representation of suggested levels in accordance with your age.

   

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure occurs when your blood pressure is high enough to cause stressing along the walls of the arteries. This can lead to severe health problems, including heart attacks and even death.

Systolic pressure (mm Hg) Diastolic pressure (mm Hg) Stages of High Blood Pressure
210 120 Stage 4
180 110 Stage 3
160 100 Stage 2
140 90 Stage 1
   

Normal Blood Pressure

Doctors suggest a normal blood pressure level of 120 / 80 mm Hg, but the truth is that anything 120 / 80 mm Hg and lower, without showing symptoms of low blood pressure, can be considered normal.

Systolic pressure (mm Hg) Diastolic pressure (mm Hg) Stages of High Blood Pressure
130 85 High Normal Blood Pressure
120 80 Normal Blood Pressure
110 75 Low Normal Blood Pressure
   

Low Blood Pressure

Lower blood pressure levels are normal until they become symptomatic. Click here to find out more information about low blood pressure, including symptoms you need to look out for. If you are suffering from low blood pressure and are symptomatic you need to consult a medical professional as soon as possible to make sure a more serious condition isn’t causing low blood pressure levels.

Systolic pressure (mm Hg) Diastolic pressure (mm Hg) Stages of High Blood Pressure
90 60 Borderline Low blood Pressure
60 40 Too Low Blood Pressure
50 33 Dangerously Low Blood Pressure
