A member asked:

After taking shower bp was up 135/84 with anxiety sat down breathing went down 109/78 is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bp: I don't think that either of these blood pressures are of concern in your age bracket unless monitoring shows sustained blood pressure of over 120/80. Your physician, who would know your bp history, is best qualified to advise you about this matter.
