I'm 21 and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are a bit all over the place. It was 149 over 78 at one point, and then it changed to 109 over 70. My pulse rate also jumps around from 110 to 72. I'm a bit worried and wondering if there's an issue or if this is normal for my age. Can you help me understand what's going on?
