Blood pressure: No, that's okay. Blood pressure can fluctuate. Based on JNC VIII guidelines and ESC guidelines target BP for most people is 140/80. A little variation above is fine. More importantly perhaps: why are you checking your blood pressure every few hours? That's too much. You're going to just make yourself worried over something you don't need to be. Exercise or another fun activity is good for your BP.
