The high range of normal is 120/80. Yours is fine though. My blood pressure is always a little high when I go to the doctor, but its just from being stressed and nervous at the Dr. office. I'll bet if you were able to take it at home it would be lower. You have nothing to worry about.

The 120 is good, the 85 is a little (slightly) high. They say 80 or less is considered normal for the lower number.

You are young and your blood pressure is fine. Worry about the factors for heart disease that you control....exercise, weight, smoking and eating habits. Checking your blood pressure periodically is a good idea, but don't let it get to you if it is a little high sometimes. If it is always high and definately in the "high" range, you should call your doctor.

the 120 is; the 85 is a little high for someone your age and fit. However, it is not anything to worry about - it could just be a blip e.g. if you were annoyed about soemthing just before you went in or rushed to get there or even if you had drunk something with caffeine in it an hour before.

It's a bit on a high side, but could be up just temporarily. You should get it checked a few times over a few days to see how it goes.

There is nothing wrong with that blood pressure reading - it is quite normal.

It's fine! If it wasn't, the doctor would ask to see you again, to do another reading

A tad high for someone your age, watch your diet & exercise more.
