No, that should not be a concern at all. First off, you have to note that blood pressure rises during any exertion, so if you had been moving around, even walking up a few flights of stairs, for example, before you had your blood pressure taken, it can affect your BP reading significantly. 'Normal' BP for an adult is considered 115/75, although some prefer 120/80. Anything below 90/60 is considered hypotension. 90-119/60-80 is normal 120-139/80-89 is Prehypertension* 140-159/90-99 is Stage 1 hypertension Anything over 160/100 is Stage 2 hypertension *In the UK, anything up to 140/90 is considered 'normal' Basically, your systolic pressure falls under 'prehypertension', while your diastolic pressure clearly falls within the normal range. Concerning your blood pressure, you are a healthy adult male.

For shame.
