Hypertension: Assuming your reported numbers are systolic BP then both are acceptably normal, hypertension diagnosis is more difficult than expected in many cases due to a significant anxiety component often manifest as a "white coat hypertension"phenomenon. Please discuss further with your prescribing physician or via the Health Tap Concierge
