I went to one of those in-store self BP machines. It said I am 135/95. The systolic is fine, but the diastolic is slightly high. At what point is BP a concern?

Overall, I think its pretty good for a guy who has put on 45 lbs since September.

The machine I used said under 140/90 is "normal". I don't know. I will check your link.

Well seems like with blood sugar along with blood pressure they seem to lower the criteria for "normal" as new research about damage to the body comes out.


More like the drug companies sponsor research that lowers the threshold so they can sell more pills.
