SOURCE: I have a blood pressure
Much easier to go to a store, like Walgreens and get an inexpensive ( like 15 dollars) automatic wrist cuff blood pressure monitor, that will give you accurate and quick readings of your heart rate, and blood pressure, systolic and diastolic, automatically.
SOURCE: whats normal blood pressure rates, and how can i better manage high blood pressure
120 over 80 is considered normal. High sodium diets make it go up. Stay away from sugar and high salty foods to lower it.
Ideally an average of 135/85 is good, but you might not have that. With this situation it is likely your BP does need management. In your age group any hypertension is a risk because the old plumbing isn't as good as it used to be.
Get along to a doctor and tell all, about diet, smoking, alcohol, other drugs you take, exercise or lack of it etc. The doc may order blood tests to get a complete picture, and even maybe a bit of cardiac testing if you've never had that.
Lest you think I'm sermonising, I'm 69 and when I went to check all that stuff, hypertension and diabetes 2 were revealed, but my heart was still OK, so I hope to live a bit longer, and so should you too. Good luck.

@130/80 either up or down a bit is ok. You can increase the top value by stressing so its the lower value that is monitored more closely.
