Your blood pressure varies every heartbeat. This is to be certain that the heart sounds the right amount of blood to each part of your body.To take an accurate blood pressure wait five minutes take three readings and then average the last two. Go to uptodate.com and read about the DASH diet to lower your blood pressure (better than most meds. Discuss with your doctor.May your pressure be low!

Agree with the other answer. Another way to bring down BP is to lose weight if you are overweight. Your BP seems a little high but not terrible. If your BP is consistently 130/80, you should go see a doctor. Consistent exercise can help lower your resting heart rate.
