I once had it so massively high (summat ridiculous like 150/200) and a heart rate of 190 (I was slightly unwell) that I had to have my heart checked for damage.

Eating healthily and exercising regularly will extend your life. Obsessively checking your blood pressure will likely shorten it.

Mine is always on the cusp of high, around that 142/88 mark. Never been advised to take tablets though. My heart rate is under 50 if very relaxed, in other words when the wife and kids are out of the house.
Had to give you a Wiz for that @FX_Munkee ;;; (and a LOL for @Nitefly too) given my recent heart attack ** (<click to read thread)
@Emp_Fab has a good point too "She's probably making yours much higher because of her anxiety about it!"
Me? I have to monitor mine ATM, and it is a learning curve I must say. There are definitely relationships with high BP and stressful life situations / events. Next time she niggles away at you, just pop the cuff on and take a reading, if it is suitably high, say "see, I told you so", or pop the cuff on her, she might be surprised how a little "domestic" raises both of your health risks.
"Now, about that new guitar dear..."
BTW, thanks for posting the BP chart, I hadn't seen that one.
Cholesterol is fine, blood sugar levels are fine, as are liver and kidney functions, thankfully. Blood pressure was the causal factor**, and that's because life has been a complete and utter shit storm for the last few years. One reason I took up playing the guitar again, it is either therapy (or I need it), and there is great company on here.
I seem to have a very low resting heart rate, around 44bpm usually, and it has been as low as 36bpm, so I must be about as chilled as a chilled thing (or dead!) ...
FYI mine has come down to as low as 120/67 at 48bpm recently, averages (median) probably around 140/85 at 44bpm, with the occasional excursion up to 170/100 @44bpm. I am however, probably not surprisingly, on a bunch of meds**, which are a total head-fuck. I didn't take them just so I had a clear head when I went in to see the doctor a couple of weeks back, and he measured 216 / 110 at 45bpm, oops !
When I saw my mates straight after, one said I shouldn't be standing, the other just put his fingers in his ears, presumably just in case I went "pop"

If it's gonna take a while I'll read it twice
Last time it was 114/64 - which for a 53 year old bloke is very good.
I recently had an EGC before having an operation and was told my resting heart-rate was on the 'very healthy' side of normal.
Two and a half years ago, my BP was 157/114 - stroke/heart-attack levels, if not dealt with. I've brought about the reduction with diet (I've lost about 3 stone) and exercise - I walk a lot and track my steps. I'm not on any medication.
Usually about the 120/70. (Normotensive for my age.)
It had crept up a bit earlier this year (130/80 ish). Funnily enough so had my weight... BMI 26ish
BMI is now kosher -- easy weight reduction, ask me how haha; so is my BP.
The Oh Shit meh bit: My dad, gawd rest his soul, died of a CVA; my eldest son is boogieing along on one kidney -- my dad didn't have a clue about his BP till it was too late; my son just gets a gentle "1st of the month" reminder from me, and cos he's young and daft he'll get it for a while yet.
But for you: For the sake of a £25 Omron (I guess other makes are available but that's exactly what I use) it's the easiest thing in the world to check your BP. No excuse. Biggest bang for the buck health care objective measurement going.
My rule of thumb is, "three flaky readings and I'll go and chat with my GP."
BUT I did have two EE errors in a row the other day - that made me nervous!
