Question of curiosity, when they brought me out of surgery 2 months ago, my blood pressure was 170/120, how high is that really?

Now I dig deep in my memories of psychosomatic courses at university.
That value is definitley way too much if it is in your normal life. Get it checked by a doctor, if it is, and get it checked quick. Wether or not it was normal for you while coming out of surgery, I cannot tell you.
for a male, young and medium age, an often mentioned orientation value is 120/80. 140/90 may cause a doctor frown his eyebrows and tell you that treatment yet is not necessary, but one should keep a close eye on it in the future. If it goes higher than this, they will suggest a cardiologic check-up, and light medication is getting introduced sooner or later in order to at least prevent it going even higher. If it becomes even higher, they will start trying to get it down.
Note that heart-rate also needs to be taken into account, and close deseases like diabetes, and physical cindito0ns like fatness and/or overweight. If you have too high BP you will be told almost alwayst to keep your weight in shape. Fat people are constant victims of HT.
Essential Hypertonus can have links to causal variables like lacking excericising or bad food or smoking or a general unhealthy life, but it must not be caused by this, and can emerge all by itself, without an obvious reason at all, too. Like men around 30 suddenly win in weight due to changes in the metabolism; or like often in many old people, when they died and eventually undergo an autopsy, you find cancer tumours in various parts of the body that were unknown before and did not affect them, nor caused their death: in disputed Wilhelm Reich' words cancer maybe just is a sign for the absence of life energy, and since life energy fades when you become older, cancer could be seen as a natural symptom of age, eventually, in such cases.
do not take hyptonus, even a mild one, easy, because it tends to become worse, and it is a silent killer. It can - and oftehn does - strike without warning. It is one of the worst and most widespread killer factor in our civilisation. the second value (diastolic) is the more dangerous one, you need to keep this one low (so it is no surprise the army doctors did not worry about your values of 138/82, Frame). Also, you need your blood values, heart, and eye's inner background getting checked. If you ignore your tendency for hypertonus, you are playing with your life - nothing less than this. there is no need and no excuse to do so. When you have BP so high that you get headaches from it, you are in danger to your life when doing excersices and sport training then, then. I had values of 250/150 three days ago, and a heart rate exceeding 130. I do nnot do that anymore since years, but I did extensive martial arts for 18 years or more, and I still do a lot of cycling, and often long-range inline skating, so fitness probably still is not the problem .
You can be a physically trained athelete - and still suffer from hypertonus - never forget that.
