Is blood pressure thats 117/84 high?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The goal blood pressure for most people is less than 120/80 so your diastolic number (the bottom number) is slightly high with this reading but not high enough to treat at this time. The blood pressure should be repeated to see if there is a pattern or if this number is an isolated incident. Be sure to exercise regularly if possible and watch your salt intake and you can get the number to goal.
