Yes, this blood pressure reading is high. Have you been active? If so, rest for 10 minutes and take your blood pressure again. If your blood pressure is still this high, talk to your doctor. High blood pressure does a lot of damage on the body and can result in stroke, heart attack, and various other conditions.

Is blood pressure 170 over 115 during an exercise stress test normal for a 48 yr old woman with a heart rate at 140 beats per minute?

Your blood pressure is fine but your heart rate is a little high so you should ask your doctor about that. I know that a normal resting heart rate runs between 55 to 60 bpm. But you might want to talk to your doctor about and ask why you have a normal blood pressure but a seemingly high heart rate.

My blood pressure is 147 over 77 is that a good pressure?

In health care 120/80 is ideal. I would be concerned about the 157. See your doctor. He may want you to monitor your blood pressure at home. I thought mine was okay until I felt like I was going to pass out one day. Turns out I did have high blood pressure and I now take high blood pressure medication. Best wishes!

What is the use of the sphygmomanometer?

It is a device for measuring blood pressure.A sphygmomanometer (often condensed to sphygmometer) or blood pressure meter is a device used to measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or electronic manometer to measure the pressure. The pressure is stated as two numbers, the highest pressure that blood reaches (pushes past the cuff) and the lowest (the flow is unimpeded and flows without being pushed by the heart contraction). Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope to determine the two pressures.The higher pressure is the systolic (heart pushing), the lower the diastolic. Blood pressure is stated as both of these numbers, e.g. 115/75 spoken "115 over 75" is a systolic pressure of 115 (mm Hg), a diastolic of 75 (mm Hg).

is a blood sugar level of 115 considered high?

is 115 very high What is the average for blood sugar in a 80 yr old man “is a blood sugar level of 115 considered high?” is a blood sugar level of 115 considered high In my opinion a glucose level of 115 is "normal," that means within the accuracy of the glucose measurement, and within an acceptable range for good glucose control. A glucose level under 125 will do negligible damage to the small blood vesels in the retna and the feet.
