Should I Be Concerned With 168/121 Blood Pressure?

Hello, I normally am asked at any doctors offices if my Blood Pressure was normally low. The answer (as long as I can remember has always been yes). Until this past Tuesday. My Blood Pressure was 168/121. Besides the Twinkling tiny lights floating around my peripheral vision,I have been FINE. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
If your blood pressure is 168/121 is quite high.
If you have measured your BP your self at pharmacy shop, then consult your doctor and get your BP measured.
Keep record of blood pressure daily for few days.
Take low salt diet.
Ok and take care.
