Recent guidelines suggest that normal blood pressure is now considered up to 140/90 mm Hg, with a maximum of 130/80 mm Hg for older adults or those with diabetes.
Blood pressure readings consist of systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom) numbers, indicating heart contraction and rest pressure.
Previously, 139/89 mm Hg was treated as pre-hypertension, prompting medication to prevent heart issues.
