Depends: Blood pressure is a dynamic (changing) reading and a series of several are required to establish a truly representative pattern. If you are running with diastolic blood pressures in this range it is abnormal and worth an evaluation.It is not an ER visit type of issue, but you should see your physician within the next few weeks.The evaluation takes time.
