Hi;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
The normal blood pressure for any person is 120/80 mmHg .As for another method some people calculate is a person can have his systolic(upper) BP of 90+the age of a person can be max.And for diastolic(lower ) it is 80;anything above 80 is increased BP.So if you have a BP within 160/80 without any symptom even that is normal for you.
Thanks
