Probably: Based on height and age, his blood pressure reading falls in the above average range. However, many things can affect blood pressure readings, such as activity, nervousness, and properly sized blood pressure cuff (too small of a cuff can give falsely high reading). If you are concerned and if there's family history of high blood pressure and heart disease, please talk to his doctor.
