94/70 is beyond healthy\n\n120/80 is normal (anything under is better say 110/70..etc)\n\nif it gets too low, then you have a problem. Considering you were nervous at the time, daang that is pretty good!\n\nI'm a teen myself, and when I'm calm i'm just about 120/80 though when i'm nervous and at the doctors i'll be like 127/85 etc..

Hypertension (defined as a blood pressure >=140/90 mmHg) is an extremely common comorbid condition in diabetes, affecting ~20–60% of patients with diabetes, depending on obesity, ethnicity, and age. In type 2 diabetes, hypertension is often present as part of the metabolic syndrome of insulin resistance also including central obesity and dyslipidemia. In type 1 diabetes, hypertension may reflect the onset of diabetic nephropathy. Hypertension substantially increases the risk of both macrovascular and microvascular complications, including stroke, coronary artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease, retinopathy, nephropathy, and possibly neuropathy. In recent years, adequate data from well-designed randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of aggressive treatment of hypertension in reducing both types of diabetes complications.\n\n\nIf your blood pressure is between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg, then you have PREHYPERTENSION. This means that you don't have high blood pressure now but are likely to develop it in the future. You can take steps to prevent high blood pressure by adopting a healthy lifestyle.

For all adults in general, the medical guidelines are:\n\nLess than 120/80 = ideal, healthy blood pressure.\n120/80 to 139/90 = still in the normal range, but verging on hypertension.\n140/90 to 159/99 = Stage 1 Hypertension (this is when your doctor will say you have high blood pressure).\n160/100 and above = Stage 2 Hypertension (SEVERE high blood pressure). \n \nAs a person gets older, their systolic blood pressure (the top number - ie: 120 in 120/80) will get higher, and their diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number - ie: 80 in 120/80) will get lower.  This is expected as a normal person ages.  However, just because it's "normal" doesn't mean it's healthy.  The 70 year old woman who has the typical 137/65 should still see her doctor about getting her blood pressure closer to 120/80.  The heart is going to need more help as a person gets older, and no matter what age the person is, the heart always works best when blood pressures are close to 120/80.  Hope this helps.

As you have mentioned in your question, different sources will show different ranges for hypertension. However, almost all of the studies and medical text books, agree on that the blood pressure above 140 mmHG systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic is a risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases.

Here's all the information you need about blood pressure http://www.webmd.com/content/article/96/103783.htm

"Blood pressure is the pressure exerted by the blood on the walls of the blood vessels\n...\nThe systolic pressure is...the peak pressure in the arteries during the cardiac cycle; the diastolic pressure is the lowest pressure"\n\nIn other words:\nBlood pressure (measured using a cuff around the arm filled with air & mercury) is how much pressure is being put on your arteries.  If you've ever had your blood pressure taken, the systolic pressure is the point when the cuff stops cutting the circulation off and you are able to feel you pulse in your arm.  The diastolic pressure is the point when the cuff no longer puts pressure on the artery (because the arteries pressure is now higher than that of the cuff).  This is the point where you would no longer be able to feel your pulse in your arm and it would just feel normal again.\n\nTypically the normal blood pressure is 120/80, but this can vary greatly by age and state of health.\n\nHope this was helpful.

My mom has high blood pressure all the time even on meds.  I monitor her blood pressure for her.  It is always higher when she's sick.  I know if the top number is 180 you are suppose to go to the emergency room.  The thing with your ear I'm not so sure about.  You should call your doctor just to be safe.

Normal blood pressure is 120/70.  If it's at 158/84, it's considered on the high side.  Yours is way out of the normal range.  Please see a doctor ASAP.

I can assure you that it doesn't stand for 'Bad Prostate!' Blood pressure is the answer you're seeking and in a normal young male it should be less than 120/80 mm. of Hg..

Well...first of all, high blood pressure is defined as anything over 140/90 mmHg.  If you think that you have high blood pressure, then first thing to do is to go see a doctor.  He or she will take your blood pressure once more and if it is high (but not dangerously high), then most probably they will advise exercise, proper low fat low cholesterol diet and will also tell you to not get stressed out often.  Usually they try this for a couple of months and then tell you to come back at which time, they will check your blood pressure once more.  If it is still high, then they will start medication.  High blood pressure can be controlled at this stage with medication (either one or a combination of drugs), proper exercise, proper healthy diet and minimal stress.  Along with your cooperation, your doctor can combine drugs to achieve a satisfactory blood pressure reading over time.  There are always many options available.  Therefore, discuss with your doctor, and with your cooperation, both of you can get your bp under control, which is very essential since high blood pressure is one of the risk factors for heart attacks and strokes. Also, smoking is also associated with high blood pressure...so, if you're a smoker the first step would be to stop smoking.

That blood pressure is perfectly safe.  The guidelines for blood pressure are systolic (top number) be below 140 and the diastolic (the bottom number) be below 90.  Of course everyone is different.  If you have had that reading for most of your life then that is a normal blood pressure for you.

Ambien typically has no effect on blood pressure; actually if anything, it may lower it.  Depending if you have other medical conditions, the normal blood pressure should be less than 120/80.  If you have consistent blood pressures above that, you should really contact your doctor.
