And look at this, it takes your age in to account https://www.hriuk.org/health/learn/risk-factors/what-is-normal-blood-pressure-by-age

Close to average for my age.

One less thing to worry about.

perffick for you Sandy

oo-er I will have one of the mods after me for spurious opinions: as far as I am concerned, standard systolic ( big number for AB) should be 100+age

Question Author

Ha.

100+age would put some in apoplectic fit territory.

We wouldn't want that.

If my systolic blood pressure were 100+age I'd die, literally 

pretty good - nothing to worry about - I got my done on Monday ie blood tests and I have received word that I have to go onto blood tablets for the next 12 weeks.  Thank God as I am absolutely ready to collapse with fatigue.  

I'd be happy with that, sandy.  Mine ranges from 112/59 to 115/98!

Naturally I was concerned and bought a device to monitor regularly.  I react strongly to stress situations it seems.  When in hospital recently they started off by being v. alarmed and then became casual as it declined etc.  When I asked they said that they weren't concerned and I was one of 'those' ones.
