Optimal blood pressure is when it does not significantly

That would be <140 over <90 for middle age and over.
Any other values are big-pharma crap.

My grandparents lived to their 90's (one had her 103
birthday). Their average blood pressure was in the region of 130/90.
3 of them died due to complications from LOWERING their blood
pressure far too much. New WHO "blood pressure guide". 18 of the 19

For your amusement only. 

My body mechanic wants me to do a BP test every evening exactly 1 hr
after I take my BP meds to see if they're still effective:

The black and blue lines are the actual data from a cheap Omron
BP-7100 BP monitor.  Notice how erratic the numbers appear.  To make
some sense of the erratic numbers, I add the red lines, which are the
average of the previous 7 days measurements.  That makes the results
look somewhat less erratic.  Using the average numbers, I'm considered
borderline acceptable.  Previous attempts to lower the systolic
numbers resulted in also lowering the diastolic to unacceptably low
numbers.  So, what you see is the best I can do.  I've tried other BP
monitor which produced similar erratic results.

The graph also demonstrates that a single BP measurement isn't really
adequate for determining whether there are any "high blood pressure"
issues.
