Detailed explanation-1: -The blood pressure reading 118/78 indicates that the person in question has ideal blood pressure. If a person has blood pressure within the range of [90/60] and [120/80], it will mean that the person has perfect blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-2: -A normal blood pressure for an adult is defined as 90 to 119 systolic over 60 to 79 diastolic. The range between 120 to 139 systolic and 80 to 89 diastolic is called pre-hypertension, and readings above that indicate hypertension, or high blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -This is what your diastolic blood pressure number means: Normal: Lower than 80. Stage I: hypertension: 80-89. Stage II: hypertension: 90 or more.
Detailed explanation-4: -A systolic pressure of 120 to 139 mmHg or a diastolic pressure of 80 to 89 mmHg is considered “prehypertension” and needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading of 140 over 90 or higher is considered elevated or high.
Detailed explanation-5: -A blood pressure of 118/77 indicates that your blood pressure is PERFECTLY NORMAL, and on par with the American Heart Association guidelines.
