Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The range for the upper figure (Systolic) is 90 to 140 mm Hg.
The range for the lower figure (Diastolic) is 60 to 90 mm Hg.
The pressure and heart rate vary with every beat / and are influenced by several factors – like breathing, time of the day, work, and, of course anxiety
