A member asked:
I noticed lately my sistolic bp gets higher between 130 140 when i have emotional problems ; should i be concern the rest of the time my bp is normal?

No: Pressure of 130-140 systolic is on the high end of normal and typically doesnt require treatment. So if most of the time your pressure is below there you are fine. It is normal for pressure to go up when you are upset. Sometimes exercising when you are having stress is a good way to deal with the increase in pressure. It helps get your mind off your worries and your blood pressure. Good luck.
