What numbers represent normal blood pressure?

Normal blood pressure is typically defined as less than 120/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg).

- Systolic blood pressure: This is the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats. A systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm Hg is considered normal.

- Diastolic blood pressure: This is the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats. A diastolic blood pressure of less than 80 mm Hg is considered normal.
