That is not a high based on your age.

If hers were hers 124/88, again, perfect. Based on your machine, when was the last time you replaced the batteries? Check the second machine vs the old and see what you come up with.

Get a second opinion if necessary and don't take meds unless absolutely necessary! For a doc to tell you that you need to start meds based on what you've wrote is ludicrous imo.
Thanks very much. I take your opinion with great respect, not because you are a pharmacist, but rather because your AR Cycles custom is one of the most lovely bikes on the planet. So you are clearly a man of impeccable taste and therefore to be listened to with great care

A number of helpful posts here, much appreciated to all.

Is there truly a blood pressure number that is agreed upon to be the threshold for medication treatment?

I don't have typical risk factors besides age.
