I think the second one is high. Should be around 80 if I remember correctly. Over 80 is hypertension.
I'm 128/78.
Pulse - who the hell knows.
You may have hit the magic age where you need meds to control it.

Johnny, if you're serious, you are way past red zone on your lower, and kinda scary on the upper. Pulse is fine but your BP is waaaay bad. Call your doctor now.

It's a little high. Is this something that's just now happening or something that's been happening?
Did you call your dr?

slow down kid -- it's too high (esp the bottom). Are you getting hit again? That usually runs mine up... If not something's wrong - keep a check on it or call the doc before it goes up anymore. Now you listen to mom, ya hear??? I mean it!

my bp is usually 118/68. nurses always recheck.
if the top number is over 130 and the bottom number over 80 you have a serious problem.
Seek medical attention

Pulse is good, by the way did you use Verapamill as a treatment and now not taking it since you have been pain free...If so you may have developed "rebound" hypertension. Or you may be just at that age where you develop hypertension. But as always check with you doctor, but monitor it daily to see if there are trends. Heck something might have upset you or you had to much salt or you could have hit your thumb with a hammer..But do keep an eye on it since the lower number is in the stroke range...

As I remember, Verap is a Beta Blocker and can be used to lower BP. Probably why it may have been missed up til now.

From the May Clinic site:
A hypertensive crisis is a severe increase in blood pressure that can lead to a stroke. Extremely high blood pressure — above 180/110 millimeters of mercury — damages blood vessels. They become inflamed and may leak fluid or blood.
Get yourself checked, bro. You're gettin' old, ya know.

That's high reading, but let a doc do it to be sure. A home BP machine might not be very accurate.

Steve is right on both counts. However, I use a home BP machine that allows for many more readings over the course of lifes ups and downs versus that one time doc appointment (where some people get white coat syndrome from the anxiety of a doc visit).
The KEY is to take your home unit in with you to calibrate it against what the nurse gets. Many fire stations offer free BP checks also.

You need to keep checking it - you should be sitting down for 5 minutes or so to let it settle, and measure it several times over the course of a day. If it really is high all the time, then you need to control it, bro.

ok i finally found the post about your blood pressure... you had better get this checked out... that doesn't sound good at all... did you check it again? Most pharmacies have a bp machine or just call your docs office so they can check it out... there is a down side to not being on the verap i guess... you need some b p meds now... love ya buddy be well... we are not good subjects without our king...ree
