No, it is a bit high. 120/80 is considered normal. 131/91 is only slightly high, nothing to worry about unless is creeps up higher. At age 42, you shouldn't be high like that unless you are a bit overweight. Best way to reduce the pressure is to lose a few pounds AND do some cardio like fast walking or jogging. It doesn't take much, maybe a mile per day or every other day.

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.

What is blood pressure range for female, age 70?

Normal blood pressure in the elderly may have a higher number than the normal blood pressure at the age below. Normal blood pressure for female at age 70 is 130/80. For those aged 60 years and over, the recommended blood pressure is less than 150/90.
But if she has diabetes or kidney disease, the recommended blood pressure is below 140/90. Stay healthy.

Im 75 female and want to know what my blood pressure numbers should be !

Normal blood pressure is 120/80. It shouldn't change much with age. But you might see an elevation to around 140/90. If you are less than that, it's normal.

Was in the ER last week cause blood pressure went down to 42. I got it back up but today it has loered to 67. How can I raise my blood pressure now here at home

Not enough information to answer safely.

A Blood Pressure of 67 makes no sense, as there are 2 numbers.
For example 150/90
The top number is the Systolic pressure, the pressure when your heart contracts.
The bottom number is the Diastolic pressure, the pressure when your heart relaxes.
Depending on many factors a bottom number of 67 may be very normal.
For example if you are a small elderly woman 67 would not be unusual.
Young athletes in excellent physical condition also have lower blood pressures.

I don't know why you went to the ER.
Nothing you have said so far indicates there was an emergency.

Were you having serious symptoms, or were you merely anxious and checking your blood pressure (or your pulse) by yourself.

I am wondering however if you mean pulse, i.e. heart rate, instead of "blood pressure".
A heart rate of 67 again might be very normal and not need to be changed.

What is normal blood pressure

hi pete.
Follow a healthy lifestyle to keep it at this level. More than 120 over 80 and less than 140 over 90 (120/80-140/90): You have a normal blood pressure reading but it is a little higher than it should be, and you should try to lower it.

What is normal systole range

A normal systolic blood pressure is 120 or below. A systolic blood pressure of 120-139 means you have normal blood pressure that is higher than ideal, or borderline high blood pressure.

Im 58 years old I take blood pressure pills & my blood presure was 107/56. Should I worry about it?

Hi! With your age, it is recommended to take maintenance pills but with your doctor's supervision. But as with your blood pressure, 107/56 belongs to the 'ideal blood pressure' range and is considered as normal. It is not to worry about. But if you feel some difficulties, please visit your doctor for further checkups.

Is my blood pressure to high at 138 /85

Readings between 120/80 and 139/89 usually indicate PRE-HYPERTENSION or HIGH NORMAL, indicating you don't have hypertension but your blood pressure is higher than what experts consider optimal for most adults. or in my case this is normal, not every one has the same blood pressure. im not a doctor but this should help you if you feel unwell please go see a doctor.

What is the meaning of blood pressure 235/100

Andrew is correct
you should be on the way to a hospital in an ambulance
unless you are one of thousands that have got a home blood pressure testing machine and do not know how to calibrate it or it is faulty in which case junk it and keep going for regular tests at the doctors , pharmacists or chemists
