Normal blood pressure for women is the same as for everyone else. However, women experience physiological changes that may cause the blood pressure to increase or decrease. According to highbloodpressureinfo.org, the normal range for blood pressure for everyone is 120/80 mmHg or lower. For women, this may vary depending on menstruation and pregnancy. Blood pressure in women may increase or decrease during pregnancy.
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.
