A member asked:

I have been monitoring my bp over the weekend taking it every 4 hours or so. average is between 135/59 and 134/85. latest this morning was 127/78?

Normal blood pressu: Your blood pressure numebers are ok for your age . The 85 is a bit elevated, but I'd just keep an eye on things once or twice aweek and only worry if the numbers are above 140/90 consistently

Monitoring BP: Blood pressure is very dynamic & fluctuates through the day and night. It depends upon heart rate, fluid content within artery walls and the tension or degree of constriction within yards &yards of arterioles throughout the body at any given time. I consider 130/80 or lower a good number. Avoid excess salt, caffeine,alcohol,stress. Don't smoke. Exercise regularly. Checking your Bp AM&PM suffice
