Your blood pressure reading uses these two numbers, the systolic and diastolic pressures. Usually they are written one above or before the other. A reading of
120/80 or lower is normal blood pressure 140/90 or higher is high blood pressure 120 and 139 for the top number, or between 80 and 89 for the bottom number is prehypertension What doctors call low blood pressure is when someone's blood pressure is lower than their NORMAL range. So say your normal blood pressure is 120/60. Then say you have some sort of accident and loose a lot of blood, and now your blood pressure is down to 90/30. You have very low blood pressure now because you are MISSING blood in your body and need to get some added back in.
