Change in BP trend & also PP

Hello I am bedridden with severe ME/CFS but am concerned about my blood pressure readings which are very unusual for an ME patient. I was bedridden in 2013 although slightly more active than I am now (I could manage to walk to the bathroom and around my room whereas now I can not) as well as feeling generally better both on exertion and at rest. As stated my main concern right now is blood pressure. The fact that my baseline has lowered overall but pulse pressure/gap between systolic and diastolic has become wide. I am male 29 years old 5'10" and 11 stone. My diet is the same as is everything else compared to 2013 (except feeling worse). The following BP readings are typical of the comparison between now and 2013 as well as the trend in my BP now. i.e. My diastolic is almost always low while my Pulse Pressure is almost always wide. Should I be concerned? Thank you so much for reading. November 20th 2013 6pm - 139/90 - 68bpm November 23rd 2013 8pm 127/86 - 70bpm December 3rd 2013 8pm. - 132/89 - 80bpm December 4th 2013 8pm - 127/84 - 76 bpm January 10th 2015 9pm - 126/64 - 72 bpm January 26th 2015 7pm - 130/70 - 74 bpm February 11th 2015 6pm - 126/64 - 78 bpm February 18th 2015 8pm - 120/69 - 75 bpm

Your pulse pressure is not wide. 170/70 is a wide pulse pressure. Yours is in normal range...
