Thanks. Not bad for 50, eh?I was thinking that maybe the machine at the drugstore was skewed too low but then I went back there last night with some friends. I wanted to take another measurement after I took a little bit of dexedrine. The systolic was up to 104 which still isnt bad. My three friends had ranges from 135 to 154 so I no longer think it's skewed too low. I'm pretty amazed actually since high blood pressure seems to run in both sides of my family.
