I totally agree, Sis. I think those mumbers are really good for you.

yes i think so too, when i was resting last night it was 110/65 which is very low for me and really good i think, my mother is still saying i should go to the doctor and get it checked, i cannot see the point, as it will rise for sure because i am nervous, i really don't think i have any BP issues at all to worry about.

Since you are monitoring it on a regular basis, I see no specific need to see the doctor. Next time you go, for whatever reason, bring along your readings. Bring your monitor, also. Then you can compare the readings the nurse gets with your machine. Each one will be slightly different, but it's nice to know.

keep in mind that your blood pressure is suppose to go up when you exercise. After exercise it should return to normal in around 15 minutes. It is a good idea to always take your pressure after being Idle for at least 15-20 minutes. Always take it sitting and keep your legs uncrossed. The readings you have posted are good for any age. keep in mind that
everyones pressure will go up and down in response to exercise and stress. I never take mine after a football game or race on TV because I know it will be elevated.
