[|Human|] I went to the doctor and my blood pressure was 164/100 I have always had low pressure 117/78 never high.  He checked it again a little later and it was the same.  He told me to wait a week and get it checked again.  Should I be concerned?  I have been under some pressure changing jobs and all.  Could this be a cause?
