You're blood pressure fine. I'm on bp medication and my doctor told me to inform him if my blood pressure my blood pressure went over 135/85. That's consevative. The others were concerned if it goes over 140/90. It has to be over that for 3 months before they get concerned and put you on medication. If you are concerned get a blood pressure monitor and mesure it once a week. Be sure to take it in to your doctor to make sure it's working correctly. My blood pressure goes up every time I go to the doctor, white coat sydrome. Mine measures the pulse too but I never pay attention to it.

bp readings are lower in the morning when you wake up. that's why when you come home at night it is higher because you've been awake all day dealing with stress. make sure you monitor your blood pressure and take medication if it gets high. undiagnosed hypertension kills. my bf mother just died from undiagnosed hypertension. it was all avoidable. first she had a cerebral hemmorhage then a massive stroke. her dumb doctor didn't give her medicine and look what happened.

I have never had a problem with high blood pressure. I took it this morning and it was 121/83. Is that okay. ? i thought the bottom number should be lower than that, just curious. I am 50 years old.thanks bride527

Your Blood pressure is not lower in the am. The blood pressure and heart rate in normal people are usually highest in the early morning. This is exaggerated in people with high blood pressure. After waking up, someone with high blood pressure may increase their blood pressure by 2 to 3 mmHg every hour for the next 4 to 6 hours. After that, the blood pressure goes down, reaching its lowest levels between midnight and 3AM. These changes seem to be related to the activity of the sympathetic nervous system; the output from the adrenal glands is lessened during sleep, and then increases on awakening.
My doctor also confirmed this as well as my BP cuff..Lisa
