High BP

140/80 is the beginning of high Blood Pressure. He should see someone about it & on meds.

IIRC, the goal is to keep us all at about 120/70 or below.

There is NO definite, discrete line between "Normal" BP & "High" BP. The risks of bad things happening based upon elevated BP is a smooth curve that just continues to increase as BP increases. The 140/80 is the start point for medics to start noticing what a person's BP is.
