I'm really stressed lately - my sister is getting married, and I have to travel for it, and it's coming at a time when I'm trying to move, and I just haven't been feeling well.... today at the docs my blood pressure was 136/93. How bad is that? Horrible? If it stays like that for a bit until I de-stress am I going to have problems? Normally, it's 120/80....

Thanks
 
If you're under significant stress, it's not that bad. Try to relax a bit in the upcoming few weeks. If it stays there, there might be some problems, but people live with kind of blood pressure sometimes from birth till they die.
 
It qualifies a hypertension Stage 1. Were you MORE anxious in the doctor's office? That can raise it. However, if it was 120/80 before and is now higher probably that's not it. Temporary stress could raise it, but it may be worth checking it out again soon.
