Your blood pressure (BP) reading is not considered normal. While the systolic BP (137) suggests mild hypertension (high blood pressure), the diastolic BP (118) is significantly elevated and requires medical attention. Please repeat the measurement after resting quietly for at least 5 to 10 minutes. If it remains high or you develop symptoms such as headache, chest pain, or dizziness, please consult your doctor promptly for proper evaluation and treatment.

With blood pressure at 160 over 120, you should reduce salt intake, avoid alcohol and smoking, manage stress, and exercise regularly. Monitor your BP daily and consult a doctor to see if medication is needed, even if other reports are normal.
