The ideal blood pressure is considered to be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. According to the American Heart Association, normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg, while elevated blood pressure is when readings consistently range from 120-129 systolic and less than 80 mm Hg diastolic. High blood pressure (hypertension) is categorized as stage 1 when blood pressure consistently ranges from 130 to 139 systolic or 80 to 89 mm Hg diastolic, and as stage 2 when it is 140 or higher systolic, or 90 or higher diastolic.
Its important to note that the ideal blood pressure number can vary for individuals based on factors such as age, overall health, and the presence of other chronic conditions. Therefore, its best to work with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate blood pressure goal for each individual.
