Question 2

Accepted Answer

BP Goal 120/80: I will presume you are referring to the "top" value or systolic blood pressure (bp). If measured correctly, this is way too high for a 31yo male. Of course i don't know about any other medical problems you may have...

Question 4

how serious is a blood pressure reading of 82/56?

Accepted Answer

Variable: One never treats a number per se; but rather symptoms if any.  A BP of 82/56 is certainly on the low side especially for a 44 year old male.  However if you are of slight build that may be normal for you. If you are not lightheaded and well hydrated, basically asymptomatic with that number, no need to worry.  If you are light headed, then you ought to seek medical attention.
