I was looking at the paper the emt gave me, the blood pressure they have listed when they first got there was 180/120. Normal is around 120/80. I've never had any medical issues before, so it's just crazy to me.
A single B/P reading doesn't mean much. Get that checked occasionally - or buy the gear to check it yourself. Or, find a free machine in a drugstore. (wonder if those are wiped down regularly?)
