What should I do if my blood pressure and pulse are too high to be going to the gym? »

My blood pressure is 112/60 pulse is at 120 bpm average. Is this normal for a student with minimal exercise?

I’m currently studying in a university, 18 years old. And now I think I’m having a mild asthma attack though the last attack was around 15 years ago.

BP is very normal. Your heart rate is extremely high. You should run probably about 60-80 bpm during normal daily activities. It will tend to go up during an acute asthma attack or occasionally in response to some asthma inhalers but if this is persistent between attacks you need to have it further evaluated.

  1. I just asked Mum who is an RN. The Blood Pressure is fine but as I thought your BPMs are pretty fast, this could be due to you worrying about the asthma though.
