Overweight: With your height and weight, your BMI is at the "overweight" range, and bordering on obesity. Your BP was cut off and only the top number (I Hope) was viewable. Weight loss is encouraged and keeping your BP at an acceptable level, as well as your overall lipid levels, which will all help decrease your risk for heart disease and stroke. Best wishes.
