The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends the following
guideline for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and
morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood pressure goal
for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and
patients with renal failure
