High Blood Pressure?

This politician claimed he was physically assaulted by his opponent.

"After the Maghrib prayer, I felt like fainting, I threw up and passed out. I was in pain and my blood pressure shot up to 65/95. It was never that high before,

High? Hahahaahahaha.

What is the normal range of blood pressure for most people?

A guide to blood pressure levels:

  • Less than 120/80mmHg - blood pressure is at the ‘optimal’ level so follow a healthy lifestyle to keep it that way
  • 121/81 - 129/84mmHg blood pressure is ‘average’ and you would benefit from lowering it
  • 130/85 - 139/89mmHg - blood pressure is on the ‘high side of normal’ and should be lowered
  • 140/90mmHg or above - if readings are consistently at or above this level you have ‘high’ blood pressure, take action now to lower it


Either the politician is a liar or the government controlled news agency is spinning out of control.
