my systolic pressure ranges mid 120s to mid 140s and my diastolic ranges lower 50s to mid 60s. is this normal or okay?
you bet that is good. very good as long your systolic pressure is not consistently above 140 and your diastolic pressure remains in the mid-80 range. an occasional elevated systolic during stress or activity is expected. blood pressures vary throughout the day so take your bp at different times different arms and in different positions once in a while (sitting standing or supine) and notice how they tend to change a bit.
