My blood pressure reading is 137/118. Is this considered normal?
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.
