Assuming that you are an adult, a blood pressure of 130/50 is neither perfectly normal nor completely abnormal. Your systolic blood pressure (top number) is just on the borderline of pre-hypertension (early high blood pressure). In addition, your diastolic blood pressure (bottom number) is quite a small fraction of your systolic, which can sometimes be a marker for hardening of the arteries. However, a single blood pressure measurement can be affected by a number of things, such as time of day, recent activity, and any medications you may be taking. Therefore, one reading will not give you a truly accurate picture. Your best bet would be to measure your blood pressure after sitting still for 5 minutes and to record it several times per day; you can then bring these numbers to your doctor to get a better picture.

The normal blood pressure for 58 year old men is 130 over 85. This is due to restrictions in the blood vessels and their elasticity over time.
What is good systolic pressure?
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76. Blood pressure of less than 140 over 90 is considered a normal reading for adults. A systolic pressure of 130 to 139 or a diastolic pressure of 85 to 89 needs to be watched carefully. A blood pressure reading equal to or greater than 140 (systolic) over 90 (diastolic) is considered elevated (high).
Is 116 over 77 good blood pressure?

What is the diastolic reading of a blood pressure?
Diastolic refers to the moment when the heart muscle is relaxed between contractions. Diastolic blood pressure is the pressure at that moment - the lower of the two blood pressure numbers. (e.g. if the blood pressure is 120/80, the diastolic pressure is 80.) it is the bottom number of a blood pressure reading. it measures the force of blood in the chambers of the heart: the atria and ventricles.
