90

IS THE HIGHEST NUMBER YOU SHOULD SEE AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING.

A ‘bottom’ blood pressure number of 90 or above means your blood pressure is too high. It may need to be treated with drugs if you can’t lower it with diet and exercise. “Ideal blood pressure is in the range of 90/60 to 120/80. persistent high readings over 140/90 could increase your risk of strokes, so see your gp if you’re concerned,” says dr riccardo di cuffa of www.your-doctor.co.uk
