I would be concerned if those results were duplicatable on more than on BP cuff and with more than one person doing the readings.
It sounds more like an electronic BP cuff that needs new batteries.
If those are the readings that three different people can take with three different BP cuffs, in three different settings, three times or more each, then my answer is yes. That would be reason enough to seek medical attention to ensure that everything is ok.
There are many ways and many places to get your BP taken. Many grocery stores and pharmacies now have electronic BP test sites, your local Dr. office or clinic will be able to take your BP. Your local red cross would be happy to have you pop in for a cookie, a box of juice and a BP reading. You can call your local hospital ER and ask if they would be kind enough to let you pop in for a reading, or even take your own personal gear over to friend or relatives house (teach them how to do a reading) and ask them to test you.
When you are getting the doctor to take your blood pressure the readings are called: dystolic/systolic 120/80
Hypertension means high blood pressure. Blood pressure readings are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and usually given as 2 numbers. For example, 140 over 90 (written as 140/90). * The top number is your systolic pressure, the pressure created when your heart beats. It is considered high if it is consistently over 140. * The bottom number is your diastolic pressure, the pressure inside blood vessels when the heart is at rest. It is considered high if it is consistently over 90. Either or both of these numbers may be too high. Pre-hypertension is when your systolic blood pressure is between 120 and 139 or your diastolic blood pressure is between 80 and 89 on multiple readings. If you have pre-hypertension, you are more likely to develop high blood pressure at some point. I hope this would be help full for you thank you have a nice day.

That blood pressure is a little elevated, but nothing to be too concerned about, as long as you aren't having any other symptoms. Normal blood pressure is 120/80. But I would urge you to see your doctor to get it within normal range so you don't suffer from the long term problems associated with high blood pressure (hypertension).
Blood pressure numbers should run less than 120/80, no matter what adult age you are (over 18). Blood pressure readings consistently running 121-140/80-89 means you have a condition called "Pre-Hypertension," and you should be monitoring your blood pressure frequently, under a doctor's care. Some physicians will start antihypertensives at these readings, but many will suggest that you monitor it yourself (frequently) at home, keeping a journal of the readings. BP readings greater than 141/90 on a regular basis means that you have advanced into Hypertension and should be on antihypertensives under a doctor's care. Hope this answers your question .
Blood pressure is a two-number measurement of your heart's function. The top number is the systolic pressure, or the pressure of the blood within the vessels as your heart contracts. The bottom, or diastolic, number is the pressure of blood between the heartbeats, or when your heart rests and refills. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute sets the target range at less than 120/80.
The Mayo Clinic website and has a blood pressure chart available. The chart list the different blood pressure categories and the readings associated with them.
Blood pressure readings that are normal
It is totally normal for blood pressure readings to fluctuate throughout the day, even in healthy individuals. If readings are consistently high or low then the best advice would be to consult a doctor.
my son is 4 years old what is a normal blood pressure for him.
Anyone? Please?!
They can all affect BP readings.
Blood pressure depends on many factors, such as age, race, sex, and cardiovascular shape. However, a generally accepted "normal" blood pressure is 120/80. If you are concerned about your blood pressure, talk to a physician to decide if you are at a healthy blood pressure or not.
The best place to look for blood pressure readings is at your local doctors office or at a public health office. Both will provide you with accurate readings.
Yes.
Why can't I find any information on very low blood pressure readings for a 60 year old woman? The charts seem to start at 100/? but the readings I am getting are consistently below 100/??? Does anyone have an answer??

Blood vessels are the part of the circulatory system which transports blood throughout the body.Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure exerted by circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It means blood pressure is the speed of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.
