I just checked my blood pressure and it's 153 over 105. is that good or bad?

High: Your blood pressure that you report is a bit high. You would best be served to write down several readings over the next week while making and appointment to see a physician to go over your results.

High BP: This blood pressure reading is high. Was it taken at rest? (not right after exercise or otherwise moving around, etc) are you overweight, such that your BP cuff might be small for your arm? If these conditions were not going on, you'd want to continue monitoring your BP & working with your physician on reducing it. Generally you want a BP no higher than 120/80.

High: You will need several recorded numbers. In addition to physician evaluation you may need no added salt and weight loss if overweight or obese.
