Because blood pressure changes.
The normal blood pressure is usually between 120-140 mm Hg (systolic) and 80 - 90 mm Hg (diastolic). Anything higher will be considered as high blood pressure

Your circulatory system maintains pressure in your arteries and your heart pumps against it. Blood pressure numbers reflect your arterial pressure when your heart pushes blood through your system, and also when your heart rests between beats. The "active" pressure is the top number on your blood pressure reading. It is the "systolic" pressure. The "passive," or "resting," pressure is the bottom number, and represents the "diastolic" pressure. Healthy blood pressure numbers are 120 systolic over 80 diastolic, or slightly lower Blood pressure changes throughout your day, depending on your position, your anxiety level, and your activity level. Chronic high blood pressure increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, but temporary increases in blood pressure allow you to meet the demands you put on your body when you exercise. Without adequate pressure, your blood delivery system fails. so,yes !!
85 over 50 is low for anyone.
Not generally. The ideal blood pressure is 120/80. Your bottom number looks good, however the top is quite high. Was this just one blood pressure reading?? This BP would be classified as you having hypertension, or high blood pressure. However one reading does not classify you in that category. It could be a few reasons for being high. Are you stressed? Were you running around right before it was taken? I wouldn't worry about it, but I would get your BP checked again soon just to make sure it isn't a recurring problem.

Second
Systolic (the higher number) is a reading of the pressure in your blood vessels when your heart is beating at its maximum strength. Diastolic (the lower number) tells you what the pressure is in your blood vessels when your heart is at rest.
In my opinion it’s a great blood pressure. the top number or the “Systolic” pressure is the pressure your heart reads when the muscle contracts. the bottom number or the “Diastolic “ Pressure is your heart muscle at rest. FYI 😁
A blood pressure reading consists of two numbers: systolic pressure (the top number) and diastolic pressure (the bottom number). The systolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic pressure measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart is at rest between beats. The third number, if present, is the pulse pressure, calculated by subtracting the diastolic pressure from the systolic pressure. This number gives an indication of the force the heart generates with each contraction.
No you do not centrifuge blood for a CBC. This could cause issues when reading the results.
