Dear Dillu, when i'm at school they teach me the normal BP is 130/90. Now the researches rediscovered that the BP should be at 120/80. I think that this is because everyone achieves the predetermined rate i.e 130/90, and will stop the in taking of medicine. This will beat the pharmacy industry, so they make people panic abt the new rate and force to continue to take the pill. As you attain the 130/90 rate, dont be afraid and enjoy your life.
