Question: My BP is usually 120/66, I am 70 years old. I haven't been feeling well, and today my BP is 132/70. Should I worry? I don't think it's ever been that high.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your BP is within normal parameters (below 140/90 mmHg) and you shouldn't worry for that.

However if the problem persist i recommend contacting your doctor about finding the cause of your bad feeling.
