What if my systolic blood pressure is high (140) but my dialostic is normal, what does this mean?Measured my blood rpessure at work today and these are the results I got (see above question) what does this mean if one number is really high and the other is normal?

It means you didn't check the spelling in a medical dictionary.
A systolic blood pressure of 140 mg/Hg is NOT very high.
The spelling is diastolic, but you didn't indicate what the pressure was so it would be rather difficult for anyone ... even a doctor to hazard a guess as to what you may be concerned about.

If you have hypertension, 140 systolic is the "goal" blood pressure. Think about what you were doing, were you sitting or standing? Had you just been active or were you sitting quietly? Lots of things can affect your blood pressure, such as stress, exercise, illness, etc. If you are truly concerned, seek medical advice.

From what I've been taught having a higher diastolic is worse than a high systolic. But either way the high BP is bad.
The optimal diastolic blood pressure reading is 75 mmHg. As a general rule, for every 10 mmHg rise in diastolic pressure reading, your risk of experiencing stroke, heart attack, heart disease, heart failure and kidney failure are all doubled up

Makes no difference from risk...Still its High BP. Follow a planned diet daily....low on fats and oil..high on protein...also take supplements for heart health which help reduce risks because of BP like Salmon fish oil(omega-3) and Garlic...
