78 year old man blood sugar level 124,is this to hign?
A blood pressure reading of 140 over 78 is considered elevated. The top number (systolic pressure) is at the high end of the normal range, and the bottom number (diastolic pressure) is within the normal range. However, it is still important to monitor and possibly make lifestyle changes to prevent it from increasing further.

what is usually accepted as a healthy blood pressure for a 78 year male
A blood pressure reading of 137/78 is not considered high. When the top number is 140 or higher that is considered high blood pressure.
134/78 is close to Prehypertension. While not the reading itself is not always serious, you should look into ways to lower it. Losing weight, exercising, reducing sodium, avoiding smoke and cutting back on caffeine can all help in lowering your blood pressure.

Most definitely. Blood pressure measurements are taken with the person seated, at rest. If you are not being monitored for high rate exercise such as would occur with a competition cyclist, then your blood pressure should fall within 150/80 and preferably lower. A reading such as described in a 30 year old person would require investigation as to the cause.
113/78 is within the normal range. You want to remain below 120/80 assuming that you do not have other risk factors like diabetes (in which case it is recommended that you aim lower). You need to be sure that this is your correct measurement. Have it measured a number of times at the doctors and if you can check it at home as well. Do not rely on public machines as they are often innacurate.

This bp is slightly high, but try to lower it with a better diet. A "normal" range is around 125-130 over 75-80. Nothing to cause for alarm though.
