Q: is blood pressure thats 117/84 high?

: The goal blood pressure for most people is less than 120/80 so your diastolic number (the bottom number) is slightly high with this reading but not high enough to treat at this time. The blood pressure should be repeated to see if there is a pattern or if this number is an isolated incident. Be sure to exercise regularly if possible and watch your salt intake and you can get the number to goal.

Q: my blood pressure fluctuates from high to low?

Normal?: Blood pressures typically fluctuate, going up and down based on other stimuli in the body. Stress, pain, anxiety for instance, can all make the blood pressure go up. During relaxation, sleep, etc, the blood pressure will be lower. More important than an isolated elevated blood pressure reading is if the blood pressure is constantly elevated as this can lead to problems with other organ systems.
