A member asked:
Is it bad when my blood pressure is. 150 over 80?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevated reading: The larger number (systolic blood pressure) is elevated. Normally blood pressure is taken at rest. This is an elevated reading. You are 18, so would want to know if it was done correctly and would repeat to check for pattern.
