That really depends on your doctor. Some people are high at 140 and others at 130 for the systolic. If you are young, I think 130 is pretty high. If you are older maybe 140 if the point where you should be paying attention.
For the diastolic 80 is good. 85 is take a note book when you go see a doctor and 90 it's time to be a worry wart.
These are just numbers. Throughout the day, the numbers can vary quite a bit so one bad reading does not make you a candidate for high blood pressure.
If you learn to relax before it is taken, it makes a 10 - 15 point difference on the systolic and don't let people bully you about it.
Almost drowning. I was 7 years old and defiant. My mother warned that the waves could pull me out but I didn't want to listen so I swam out far and by the time I realized I couldn't reach the bottom with my feet a large wave went right over my head. In shock at it I breathed in a large gasp of ocean water and frantically moved to the surface where my father was dragging me back to shore. All the while I coughed up the water and cried. Swimming out too far was an awful choice that I didn't understand the consequences of since I was very young.
