Should I Be Worried About The Varying BP Readings?

I am 48 year old male. Several months ago I had my bp checked and it was 140/84. I went 2 weeks ago to the dr. and it was 124/82.

Last week I went to the Fair and they had a booth and it was 147/87. If I sit for 10-15 min. it will be in the 125/80 range. Should I be concerned?

hi,
Normal systolic BP Ranges from 100-140, while diastolic between 60-90.
BP fluctuation in these ranges are normal. While it is always advised that BP Should be taken after sufficient rest, and if resting BP is frequently above 140/90, its always advisable for consultation with primary physician.
