No: Less than 120/80 is normal. Typically the lower the better. As long as u feel well, your numbers are not worrisome and often times vary depending on your level of hydration, whether after a caffeinated drinks, your mood etc etc

Question 9

is it normal for blood pressure to be low when lying down (95/55) and normal when standing (109/68)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes- Blood pressures tend to be lower lying down than sitting or standing,  and the values quoted are
reasonable and not dangerous.  Low blood pressure is only dangerous if there are are accompanied
symptoms associated with the low pressure,  such as fainting of dizziness.

Question 10

is vision connected to blood pressure -- i.e. if i lower my blood pressure, might my vision improve ?

Accepted Answer

Not usually, unless: Your vision is only affected by extremely high blood pressure, when the effects of high BP affect the retinal vasculature ;/or optic nerve (malignant hypertension). Furthermore retinal blood vessels can be blocked causing loss of vision. Too low of BP usually causes people to feel faint ; pass out. Too low of BP has been thought to contribute to worsening of optic nerve blood flow. Goal bp: 115/70.
