A lot of people around the world believe that the normal blood pressure is 120/80, but the ESC Association has issued a lot of new guidelines, according to which the new normal blood pressure is 140 top number of the blood pressure, and 90 being the bottom number.

Of course, this does not apply to people who are suffering from diabetes, where the limit is 130 over 80, and the same goes for the older population.

Previously, it was definitely thought that a person is entering a stage of hypertension when his or hers blood pressure was 139 over 89, and that this person had to be immediately taken to the hospital in order to avoid the increased risk of a stroke or a heart attack.

When the top number of the blood pressure number is less than 90 and the bottom number is less than 60, it is considered that the blood pressure is very low. Nevertheless, if you happen to experience a sudden blood pressure drop, we urge you to immediately consult your doctor.

But, if you happen to have a low blood pressure, and it is not accompanied with any other symptoms that may worry you, such as lightheadedness, dizziness, headache, or an abnormal rate of the heart, it is probably not a concern and you should not worry about it at all.

Learning how to recognize your blood pressure is a really important job, and a big part of the management of your health. Note that the undiagnosed hypertension can put you in a risk of various other severe health conditions.

So, we hope that you have found this article very helpful and in the future, you will be able to know your blood pressure by heart. Keep yourself safe and healthy, watch out for your dietary choices, get your regular exercise and make yourself the healthiest possible version of yourself!
