Normal difference between your systolic&diastolic blood pressure..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your blood pressure are within normal range and you have nothing to worry about.

The difference between systolic (103) and diastolic (71) blood pressure should be between 30 - 40 in normal adults. Yours is 32, perfectly within normal range.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
