My parents have a digital blood pressure instrument.

Mine this afternoon was 134 over 94. According to the machine it's a tad too high. My heart rate this afternoon was 85 beats/minute. In my mid 20s (6/7 years ago) it normally was around 45.
 
Had my tests done during our most critical time of the working year... 132/78 with a pulse rate of 72.

Slightly high.

That's normal. When I go through a bit of an anxiety attack my blood-pressure goes as high as 160/100. Normally it's around 130/85 (and even then it's elevated because of the damn sphygmomanometer--that feeling of my pulse in my arm drives me berserk, so I get tense).

I don't think you have to worry too much ;)
 
120/80 ... It gets checked 4 to 6 times a year when I give blood :)
 
Usually 110/70 or 110/60. I've always been told it's more of a concern if the second figure is too high. Well, well past my 20s. I happen to have naturally persistently low blood pressure.
 
No idea.

I visited a friend in the cardiac care ward some time ago, and the nurse tested me for fun, she said all was well, so I guess it was normal.
 
Haven't tested it in a while....

last i had it checked it was lower than 90/60

was 80/?? (sorry i cant remember the 2nd figure)

heart rate has never been over 65, tends to hover around 60 or slightly less...
 
Have had mine done every eight weeks for last thirty years and nearly always show 110/65
 
Mine is a tad too high because I drink too much brandy and coke.

Not actual coke but rather the soft drink Coca-Cola with the brandy. And of course the right quantity of ice with it ... very important!
