I'm really concerned about some recent blood test results. If my white blood cell count is high, but my lymphocytes are low and the polymorphs are elevated, what could that mean? Should I be worried about any specific condition?

What is normal blood pressure by age?

In earlier times, Blood pressure was defined according to age. With all the new research data, Hypertension is defined only by increase in numbers in blood pressure which applies similarly for all adults above 18 years of age. Normal blood pressure is a reading less than 120/80 mm Hg. Any reading above 120/80 mm Hg checked consequently for three days needs a doctor's opinion.
