A member asked:

I took a couple of blood pressure readings and it went from 136 over 75 down to 120s over 70s and then doen to 113 over 70s is this normal?

Totally!: BP usually falls as you keep taking because the act of taking it raises it! As you become more relaxed and your involuntary nervous system settles down, your BP falls. Note: All of your readings are normal! Congratulations!
