What do you think of a fairly strange range in blood pressure readings?

I went to the pharmacist after taking 4 readings in about 10 minutes. The pharmacist reset the machine and took her own bp, saying the machine was fine. My readings were:

110/69

97/62

106/55

    Nah depends on a lot. The average is 120/80. But I am 30, nonsmoker and 125 pounds and you're readings are identical to mine.

    That is not considered a strange range. Your BP reading is fantastic and be happy about that. When getting your reading, you need to be still,not talking,and have a loose focus. Your arm needs to rest between readings.
