Blood pressure is lateral pressure exerted by blood flow over the blood vessel walls while in circulation. Blood pressure makes it easy for blood to provide nutrition to all parts of body and to help removal of bad excretory products. There is no specific standard value. But 110 - 130 mmhg is normal systolic value and 85mm hg is normal upper diastolic value. Due to age, bodyweight, activity etc. Readings fluctuate systolic below 100 mmhg can be taken as low blood pressure. Above 145/85 mmhg can be taken as high blood pressurewhich can be kept normal by proper medication.
