I'm so ignorant when it comes to blood pressure. What exactly determines "good" numbers? Is it a set range, or is it within a certain range for an individual person?
At my last mw appointment, I was told that mine was "very good". I had it checked by an EMT today (free screenings at our picnic
), and HE said it was "very good". But my upper number (never remember which is called which 
) was 20pts higher than last time. My lower number was 7pts higher.
Is there ANY reason to be concerned by a 20pt change, or am I just being silly if they're both considered "very good"?
