Mine was similar to yours, controlled now through medication.
Funny thing, I only found out because my wife was concerned about her blood pressure, so we brought out the blood pressure monitor, and I decided to check mine too. Of course, hers had “spiked” to 120 or so, poor thing.
Uhhh…there must be some other conversion other than “one decimal to the left,” because if that’s it, those numbers make no sense.
Yours would be 119/70, which is high enough to donate, and Abuelito’s low would be 10/5…that’s just not “clinically dead,” that’s impossible.
Mine was around 110/70 last time it was checked.
Mine is 120/72 checked last week. For some reason my dentist office always takes my blood pressure at every visit and it always runs a little high but hey - I’m at the dentist! - I gonna be a little stressed.
119/70 is very good.
That’s what the head of Cardiology told my uncle. Then he went and checked it, and apologized.
And in order to donate, I needed 12.00/7.00 - that’s right, I was considered too low by two freaking centesimes 
Remember that what’s considered “just fine” for a medical checkup may not necessarily be “good enough” when it comes to donations.
What’s happened? It used to be that anything below about 140/80 was considered normal. 121/77 strikes me as a great BP to have.
FWIW, a week ago I measured 117/68 before my cataract operation and 126/64 after. But I take 3 BP drugs (a diuretic, an ACE inhibitor and something called Nifedipine, which I have no idea what it does).
I thought the ideal stats were 120/80 with 72 bp?
There is some other conversion: 11.98 / 7.0 is 89.9 / 52.5
Are you sure 10/5 is impossible? Why?

According to this, normal is between 120/80 and 90/60. Nava’s just barely missed the lower cutoff.
Mine’s usually “a hundred-something over sixty-something” because I’m not good at remembering numbers. Low BP runs in my mom’s side of the family, and I’ve occasionally had dr. visits in the past where both stayed in the 2-digit range.
Most amusing result was a nurse who couldn’t find my pulse to get the initial reading:
fumble
fumble
confused look
fumble
“You … you know you have to have a pulse to be sitting there alive, don’t you?”
“Keep looking!” 
Ok, it looks like the units you’re reporting in is centibars, not centimeters of mercury. The conversion to go from centibars to mmHg is 7.5 mmHg/cbar…that is to say, multiply your results by 7.5 to get what it would be in mmHg.
So as Deegeea mentioned, your BP in mmHg is ~89.9/52, and yeah, that seems more likely to be ‘too low’ to donate…but I do agree, you were very close.
And going with that proper conversion, 10/5 in cbar would be 75/37.5 in mmHg…which is still quite low for an adult…that’s even low for pediatric, but still within the realm of plausibility.
Edit: Oh, and I just took my own using one of the several BP machines here in the office, and it came out to be 121/81, with a MAP of 97…that’s a tad higher than normal, I tend to be closer to 115/75
Always normal. Usualy around 110/70. Maybe 120/70 on a bad day.
Mine was 115/55 last time, which is high for me. Pulse was 34, which was also a little high for me. But, for once, the plant nurse didn’t think I was about to keel over. (my coworkers are… not particularly healthy; she’s used to far higher numbers.)
Got rushed to the hospital on a 200/something just last week. They managed to get it down to around 140/something with medicine, which I am still taking. Pulse was 180, the other reason for the hospital rush. It’s now around 90 bpm.
At the docs two weeks ago 120/70.
The last time I had it checked, it was 140/63. Yeah, I know, but it was before a gyno exam and I was extremely nervous. The nurse said the top number was registering my anxiety, and the lower number indicated that my BP was probably on the low side usually.
So this thread reminded me, I should check my BP the next time I’m at the grocery store.
What meds did they put you on?
I may have to get obesity surgery or baroreflex activation or something. When I’m not stressed, with the meds I’m on, my bp is still high but not extremely high. But when I get stressed it shoots up higher (but goes down in an hour or two). Getting my chronic stress under control is probably the no. 1 priority. When my stress levels are lower my bp is usually 140/90 on only 1 drug.
Unless either the nurse that measured me yesterday had a FUBARed sphygmomanometer or the doc that measured it today had a FUBARed one or my systolic went up about 20 points in less that 24 hours (it was measured twice because we had a free blood pressure clinic where I live yesterday, and coincidentally I had my annual physical today)! It was 144/96 yesterday and 160+/114 today (160+ because I don’t remember the last digit). My doctor and I were both quite shocked because I’ve never had a BP that high before to my knowledge. Needless to say I’ll be seeing him again in a couple of weeks to see if that was a fluke (and as well to see if anything “interesting” shows up in my blood tests).
My record low was when I “crashed” during one of my hospital stays (they figured it may have been a reaction to the antibiotics I was on) and had a BP of 60/40. The nurses told me I was conscious the whole time, but there is an hour or two of my life wiped out of my memory.
126/88
Hey, me too.
