Blood Pressure Standard The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a blood pressure standard, according to which areas of low- and high-risk blood pressure are identified. This standard, however, is a general guideline and blood pressures vary between different people, age groups, etc. It is important that you consult with your physician regularly. Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as well as the point at which you will be considered at risk. 3 Blood Pressure Fluctuation Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
