normal men blood pressure - #16126

Yash

I am really confused because I've been checking my blood pressure lately and it seems all over the place. My doctor said that normal men blood pressure is supposed to be around 120/80, but mine has been like 130/85 sometimes and then even going up to 145/90 at random hours of the day! I thought maybe it was just stress from work, and I've tried relaxing more, but the readings don’t seem to get better. I mean, I get that normal men blood pressure can vary, but what does that really mean? Should I be worried about these numbers? I’ve also been comparing with my friends and they are like 120/78 and act like it’s not a big deal, but like why is normal men blood pressure debatable? It’s frustrating! Last week, I tried to change my diet and started exercising more thinking that could help stabilize my readings but no luck. Anyone have thoughts on what is considered normal men blood pressure? Could stress really make my readings jump that much? Am I just being paranoid about it? Would love to hear what you all think!
