Mine was 266/126 last month when I went into mild heart failure in the ER. I'm feeling great now and walk four miles a day! I found a nurse's website which recounts some higher B/P's...even 280/150!

∙ 9y agoif your blood pressure is 120/80 or 140/90 mmHg its normal, if its 140/90 mmHg or higher you have high blood pressure and if its 180/110 mmHg or higher than that you have really high blood pressure.
If you think you have high blood pressure, you should visit a doctor, but some supermarkets and pharmacies have a machine you can use to give you a general idea of your blood pressure. If you use one, take three readings over 5 minutes and average the scores out. Anything around 140 over 90 is high. Phil
The above advice is safe to follow, but NIH (National Institutes of Health) uses 130 over 80.
130 is not a problem.
