I agree with all, normal is what is normal for you in good health.  But more importantly, keep tabs on your body, you will realize when you feel unwell, and see Dr. regularly.  BP can be taken so many places today, pharmacies, grocery markets (some), etc.  And the unit is cheap enough to buy for your home use.  Watch diet, exercise, drink in moderation, all common sense, and helps with high BP.

You should also check the BP more than one time as it often varies in many people. My nurse always checks twice when checking mine. I also heard this from a doctor who was being interviewed on tv this morning.

Begging his pardon, BP "normal" (120/80) is for your doctor to determine. That's why they measure it each time you go. Normal is what's normal for you. The last time I was checked I was 118/57.......

Mine is always high at the docs office 150ish over high 80s but at home its usually low 130s over 70. I also had to take my machine in so they could make sure it was accurate. If your using a machine you or her should probably do that too.
