See 110/70 on the blood pressure chart alongside the other common readings.
These ranges are based on guidelines from the American Heart Association (AHA) and the American College of Cardiology (ACC). They apply to adults aged 18 and over who are not taking blood pressure medication.
A reading below 120/80 mmHg is considered normal and healthy. Your heart is not working under excessive pressure, and your risk of cardiovascular disease from blood pressure is low. The goal is to maintain this range through a healthy lifestyle.
Even within the normal range, lower is generally better, as long as you do not experience symptoms of low blood pressure such as dizziness or fainting. Some naturally fit individuals have readings below 100/60 without any health concerns.
