It would depend on the person. Mine laying down is 125/70, sitting 128/79 and standing it is 131/78. I have high blood pressure that is kept in check with medications.
 
Surely this is a personal thing which would vary according to who does it?
 
What do you mean Mine laying down؟
 
Mine, as it belongs to me.
