118/76 mmHg is a healthy reading.

  • Keep up the habits that support it: balanced diet, regular movement, healthy weight, and limited alcohol.
  • A MAP of roughly 70-100 mmHg and a pulse pressure near 40 mmHg are typical for a resting adult.
  • Your mean arterial pressure (MAP) is about 90 mmHg and your pulse pressure is 42 mmHg.

Next stepRecheck periodically, as blood pressure tends to rise gradually with age.
