BP: No, no need for you to worry about this. These are normal values for you. You should be concerned were these values to change.

I would: Not be concerned about a lower pressure unless you felt weak, dizzy or were on new blood pressure medications. Gd luck.

Pulse Pressure : You have a widened pulse pressure: http://www.Emedicinehealth.Com/pregnancy_bleeding/article_em.Htm. While common stress can cause this effect, it is wise to discuss this finding with your pcp and make sure he investigates possible cardiovascular and glandular - i.e., thyroid issues. At your age, the most common cause is a stiffening of your arteries, so you want to nip this problem in the bud.
