BP and pulse rate

I recently had my blood pressure and pulse checked and found the numbers confusing. I know what the numbers are but my numbers were all over the place. My BP was 115 over 42 and my pulse was 66. In the opinions of others here what could that mean to me healthwise?
Thank you in advance for any opinions

hi there....well im only 13 and my bp is usually 113 over 72 and pulse is 75 bpm. in your bp, the bottom number is very low, but im no expert. it could have had something to do with when your bp was taken. it also just could have been a mistake because i highly doubt the top would be 115 and the bottom 42...go check it out again at a different time,see what happens,and if you are worried,check in with your doctor.
