What should ur blood pressure and pulse be??

Posted on November 21, 2009 by admin

I had mine checked and it was 154/89 and my pulse was 118. What should it be for a 19 yr old?? Thanks for the info!

Normal bp is 120/80 with a pulse around 80 or so. Per the AHA, hypertension starts at 140/90 i am guessing you PCP talked to you about a lower sodium diet and meby dropping some wt.

    Should be in the range of120/70 but do not worry just yet.Blood pressure readings can fluctuate such as when you are under stress. For some people a visit to the doctor can trigger such a stress reaction resulting in elevated blood pressure readings.In order to establish what your real blood pressure is you need to take several readings over a period of time.Talk to your doctor/pharmacist.They will guide you.

    When did you check the BP. I Please do the following
    Check your BP daily in morning , if possible at home on 5 consecutive days ,or alternate days and inform the result.

    Check it again after you have sat for 15 minutes
    120/80 is fine pulse around 70.You must be calm to test correctly. Do it at most drug stores for free.
