Most heart and lung associations consider b/p 120/70 the norm but bp fluctuates constantly and some people have what they call white coat bp meaning it is higher at the dr office than anywhere else. I have hypo bp and seldom ever gets over 90/70 but can and does fall below that at times. Just because it may be a bit high when you go doesn't necessarily mean you need to go on bp medicene. They may have you get it checked at the pharmacy everyday for a week to see what if any fluctuations are happening and then decide if you need to be on medication.

Usually anything between 110-120 on the systolic and 70-80 on the diastolic is consdidered in the prime normal range.
