Yes, definitely, normal blood pressure should be less then 120/80. A pressure of 170/101 puts you at risk for stage 2 hypertension (high blood pressure) which usually requires certain lifestyle changes and combination drug therapy. It is common however for pressures to be higher as we age due to "stiffening of the arteries" (if that term sounds familiar to you).See your doctor if you haven't already.
