Hi,
For blood pressure, the top number should be less than 140 and the bottom number should be less than 90. But these cut-offs are not absolute. Higher blood pressure may be normal in the elderly. For heart rate, the normal range is between 60 to 100, but this as well is not absolute. Heart rate and blood pressure increase in anxiety.
Best wishes.
