No: As long as you have no symptoms, that BP is mildly low, but can be similar to an "athletic BP" and is fine. Best wishes.

Good BP: That is a normal or even optimal blood pressure. You are in good shape

My blood pressure reading from the doctor was 100/80. I was told that this is a normal pressure by the doctor. I see in my results from Quest, that I have elevated blood pressure, because of the "80". Is this something I need to discuss with my doctor
I check my blood pressure regularly (doctor was concerned that it was inching up), however, it is generally close to 120/80. However, recently I received a few "wild" reading such as 140/135 - is that likely an error?
My blood pressure readings are high for more than a month around 120/130 systolic and 90/100 diastolic the doctors don't want to put me on meds why?
My blood pressure is elevated. When should I seek a doctor? My last reading was 133/94
Everytime I or a doctor takes my blood pressure I get anxious reading will be high, and it always turns out high. Is this likely due to anxiety ?
