Yes, the avg is 119/80. High.

You have two blood pressures: the systolic that measures blood pressure when your heart contracts, and the much lower diastolic reading that measures the pressure when your heart relaxes. When your heart contracts, it pushes a huge amount of blood forward to your arteries. Your arteries are supposed to act like balloons and expand to accept the blood and prevent your blood pressure from rising too high. Having plaques in your arteries stiffens them and prevents them from expanding when your heart contracts, causing your blood pressure to rise higher than normal. The stiffer your arteries, the higher your blood pressure rises. Intense pressure on artery walls can cause damage that provides places for even more plaque to accumulate. It's a vicious circle: high blood pressure continues to cause plaque buildup, which narrows the arteries and increases blood pressure even more.

The systolic (heart contraction) blood pressure is far more important than the diastolic.

You should talk to your Doc and see if this is ok for you.

That's high blood pressure. Normal is >120/80. 120-130 over 80 is prehypertensive which means your at risk, and anything over 130 means you have HBP.

The answer is "YES".

The normal BP is 120/80, but can go up to a maximum of 140/90. Therefore 144/98 is considered "mild hypertension" or "stage 1 hypertension".

Your Systolic number (the first one, 140) seems like it might be a bit high for a 21-year old. It might be worth talking to your primary care physician to see if it is worth monitoring.
