My Blood Pressure is 103/64 - good or bad?
Each scale rates one number on its own; the higher category counts. Blue = low (systolic under 90 or diastolic under 60) — a common label, not an AHA/ACC category.
What this reading tells you
This is the range researchers associate with the lowest long-term risk for the heart, brain and kidneys. Nothing needs fixing — the goal is to keep it here as you get older, because blood pressure tends to creep up with age.
Know your numbers
The average pressure that keeps your organs supplied — diastolic plus one third of the gap. Typical — within the usual range of 70–100.
Usual — within the range of 30–60; the arteries cushion each heartbeat as expected.
Questions to ask your doctor
- How often should I have my blood pressure checked?
- Are my cholesterol and blood sugar in range too?
