What should be normal blood pressure?

I was usually around 120/72 (or around there) until I was diagnosed with SVT (supraventricular trachycardia) and with an extra heart beat. What would be the normal blood pressure for a 32 year old guy with weight around 230 pounds? So far, my readings have indicated around 109/66...and I'm no athlete! LOL.

I am on Atenolol, so I understand that this can lower my blood pressure and pulse, but all this is still new and my cardiologist isn't in this late...lol. It's 8:40p EST at the time of this post.

Stellar-Perfect blood pressure.


High is anything over 140/80, although doctors suggest we keep it as close to 120/70 as possible. Your bp is absolutely perfect, quite frankly im jealous.

The medication will bring your reading down to those levels you mentioned 110/66 is once again a perfect reading. The diastolic will more than likely normalize "above 70" as the day progresses and isn't a problem at 66 anyway, unless you feel dizzy, lightheaded etc.
