what is a ballpark figure for normal blood pressure?

Normal blood pressure is generally considered to be between 120/80 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) and 139/89 mmHg. Blood pressure is measured in two numbers: systolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure, which is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.
