We break down blood pressure monitor readings by thresholds: when 100 over 60 is a normal variant, what 120 over 70 means, why 130 over 80 is already stage one, and which symptoms warrant a doctor's visit.

What the upper and lower numbers on a blood pressure monitor mean, where the normal range lies for adults, and how ideal pressure differs from simply normal pressure.
