Which blood pressure range is considered normal for systolic pressure?

  1. 90-119 mm Hg

  2. 100-130 mm Hg

  3. 110-140 mm Hg

  4. 120-150 mm Hg

The correct answer is: 90-119 mm Hg

Systolic blood pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and pumps blood. It is considered to be normal when it falls in the range of 90-119 mm Hg. The other options are incorrect as they fall within the pre-hypertension range (B and C) or the stage 1 hypertension range (D). This means that if an individual's systolic blood pressure falls in any of these ranges, they may be at risk for hypertension and should consult with their healthcare provider. It is important to note that blood pressure can vary and may be affected by factors such as age and overall health. It is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and monitoring of blood pressure levels.
