    There\’s a lot of info on high blood pressure these days. Suggesting that any pressure reading over 120/80 is an indication of high blood pressure sounds a bit alarmist. Blood pressures are like fingerprints – all similar but all different. When your blood pressure reading consistently read over 140/105 then its time to act. Up to that point your still in a normal range – particularly if you\’re over 45.
