Your blood pressure is a little high. You are what we would call prehypertensive. Try and limit your salt intake, eat a good diet, and exercise. Some people just have high blood pressure. I know why old people have high blood pressure, but for younger people, I don't know why.

Don't worry, it's normal;)

Your blood pressure is well within normal limits and same with your heart rate. You have nothing to worry about. (Normal limits = anything from 100/60ish to 140/90.)

If you're concerned further, go get your cholestorol tested, start eating a better diet, and manage stress.

Normal BP is around 120/80 (some people even say 120/70). Yours isn't that bad. You might have been stressed and freaking out about something. If you're really worried about it just eat right and exercise more. And how old are you? If you're young there's not much to worry about. That's not considered high, not high enough to send up red flags.

you're perfectly normal, don't worry about it at all. as the others stated, normal blood pressure is around 120/80. you are very close to that ,nothing to worry about!

Top number is little high, and the bottom number is a little low. The textbook blood pressure should be 120/80. The top number is called the systolic and the bottom number is called the diastolic. I am not going to go into what both of them mean because you can look it up on the net and it will explain better than I can. I would not worry about the bottom number as much as I would the top number. Keep a check on it and see what it averages out to be over the course of a week or so, and if it concerned you then go to the doc. Blood pressure will vary everytime you take it even if it is the course of a few minutes. So, if it goes up and down don't be concerned unless it is by alot.
