Good BP for women

[Douskod]

What should be the BP for a woman? I think it shouldbe higher than for men, because women are smaller. I have noticedthat me and my husband we get quite different readings all the time.

BP is quite an individual thing – some people havea higher baseline BP, others have a lower one. Therefore, it iscompletely normal that you have different readings – even twoindividuals of the same gender and same size sitting together in thesame environment will have different BP. Just make sure you feelalright, and that will be good enough.

it should be normal for both sexes.. doesn't matter

it is a myth that men have higher bp, the #1 killer among women is actually heart disease

And what is good BP in reality? How much can it vary up and down?
