    You most certainly SHOULD be concerned... you have hypertension... that lower number is WAY high. GO see a doctor and get on meds before you develop a number of life threatening complications.

    Yes when do you test it, do you test it various times during the day ?

    But you need to see your doctor on this.

    High Blood Pressure is often referred to as the silent killer, those were the exact words my Doctor said to me when diagnosed.
    Of course I felt fine, but my numbers were high.
    I would certainly get checked out by my doctor, lifestyle changes and medication will help.

    You should consult your physician. High Blood Pressure or Hypertension is a silent killer. Complications of High Blood Pressure or Hypertension are of grave nature. Complications can be deadly diseases such as Heart Attack, Stroke, Kidney Failure, Vision Loss, etc. For full information on complications in a layman’s language read this write-up – “Complications of High Blood Pressure or Hypertension – adidarwinian” Consulting a physician at the right time is always a wise choice!
