Is It Safe To Have 120/78 Blood Pressure?
Hello, I am a 46 year old woman in good health. I try to eat right, keep my weight down, exercise at least 5 times a week. My blood pressure is usually about 110/70. Today, my blood pressure was 120/78! Should I be concerned? My height is 5'8 and my weight is 158 lbs. Thank you.

Hello Madam,
Thanks for using HCM.I have gone through your query.
First of all let me congratulate for living such healthy life style.Normal BP should be less than 140/90 at your age.during the day it fluctuates between 110/70 to 140/90.These ups and downs are natural and expected.so you need not worry for 120/78 at all.
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
