I am 50+. my average bp is 110/70. 02 weaks ago it went up to 140/90. but since then i keep a reord. now average is 120/80. is it normal?

Blood pressure: It fluctuates depending on your stress level, what you were doing, what other medications you took that day. Keep track and determine your pattern, i would not stress out from one reading.

Not to fret.: 120/80 is a good blood pressure. Remember that our blood pressure fluctuates a lot. I have patients that come in with sky high blood pressures- they are running late, hit traffic, smoke a cigarette, drink a bunch of coffee, run up the stairs, are nervous to get their blood pressure taken, are stressed, etc. All these things can contribute to the BP reading going up temporarily. Take care.
