Have you gained any weight?
Did you eat a big meal right before you had your bp taken?
A physician told my husband that in order to get an accurate reading, a person needs to be relaxed for about 10 minutes.
If you were rushing around before it was taken that could affect it too.
I wouldn't worry too much unless it occurs often, but the top number is still good. The bottom number is marginal.

3 years ago, I was diagnosed - hypertension with a reading of 160/100. I used to feel dizzy a lot, my legs had awful cramps, and levels were very low in my potassium, causing my fingers and toes to always cramp together. One day I started to feel really faint while I was driving with my daughter in the back seat and I passed out, hitting 3 cars and ending up in a ditch. That moment,I knew I had to do something because my meds weren't working. I heard about this diet from a friend and thought I'd give it a shot. The results have been remarkable. In just 21 days, I honestly can't remember feeling this good, my blood pressure went from 175/110 to 125/70.

That is such a minute change. Your BP could change from 108/85 to 110/70 just by walking a bit faster. Don't sweat the small stuff....Good Luck

Obviously you blood pressure is getting higher for some reason. Are you under a lot of stress? Taking a new medication? Have you gained weight and become more sedentary? It's time to see a doctor and get his/her opinion. If it's just stress perhaps you could try some meditation or biofeedback. If it's something else than a doctor needs to address the problem. You blood pressure is not overly high but it's high for you so early intervention will make sure it doesn't go any higher.

i just went through this. My doctor prescribed. A clove of garlic (raw) or a bulb cooked a day and bananas. This worked in a matter of 7 days, it lowered my blood pressure by 12 points systolic and the bottom number went down about 20. From 168/110 to 156/81

That depends. If you're going through a lot of stress right now, it could be a temporary thing; on the other hand, you might have hypertension. I would go to the doctor and get it checked out--blood pressure is nothing to fool around with.

Low blood pressure this low can be an issue. Check out Wilson's Syndrome via a net search. It is very interesting. I have low too and both of my kids and mine is related to thyroid. Keep searching, it is not like others say, always good.

That change is BP could be from you eating potato chips. Don't worry. Plenty of people would LOVE to have that BP!

Probably nothing that small of a fluctuation probably doesn't mean anything.
