Blood pressure
I'm a 66 years old woman. My blood pressure in the past few days has been 166 over 93 last evening, 147 over 89 this morning. It's not 5:50 p.m. and my blood pressure is 162 over 88. My pulse range in the 63 to 66 range except this morning at 81. Should I see my doctor? I weigh 124 pounds and am 5 foot 2 inches.
