Normal blood pressure for both men and women age 20 and older is 120/80, according to the American Heart Association. Around one out of three adults in the United States suffers from high blood pressure. Keep Learning.
Each time your nurse or physician takes your blood pressure, they are recording two measurements: your systolic pressure and your diastolic pressure. A normal resting blood pressure reading is 120/80. Your systolic pressure (the first and highest number), is the pressure or force the heart places on the walls of your blood vessels as it is working/pumping with each heartbeat.
