110/95 Blood Pressure
Is 110/95 Good Blood Pressure or High Blood Pressure?
There are two parts or two separate numbers referred to as blood pressure: Systolic/Diastolic. If the blood pressure is 110/95 (110 over 95), it means that the systolic pressure is 110 and the diastolic pressure is 95.
110/95 blood pressure can also be read as 110/95 mm Hg, or 110/95 millimeters of mercury. The 110 mm Hg Systolic refers to the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, and the 95 mm Hg Diastolic is the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats.
When determining if 110/95 is a good blood pressure, we looked at the American Heart Association's blood pressure chart.
Blood Pressure
Systolic
Diastolic
Normal
Less than 120
Less than 80
Prehypertension
120 - 139
80 - 89
High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension) Stage 1
140 - 159
90 - 99
High Blood Pressure
(Hypertension) Stage 2
160 or higher
100 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis
(Emergency care needed)
Higher than 180
Higher than 110
For 110/95 to be good, both numbers must fit into the "normal" category above. Otherwise, it will fall into other categories of High Blood Pressure.
Systolic reading of 110 is in the Normal range.
Diastolic reading of 95 is in High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1 range.
Therefore, 110/95 is High Blood Pressure (Hypertension Stage 1).
