Answers:
the average for your age should be 120/80 but it is perfectly normal!. don't worry i deal with this all the time Www@Answer-Health@Com
That is a high blood pressure!. It should be followed by your pediatrician!. To accurately diagnose someone with high blood pressure you need to have three separate blood pressure readings on three different days that are all elevated!. High blood pressure can have no symptoms, but is very harmful to many systems in your body!. It is not something to take lightly!. Please follow up with your doctor - it could simply be you were nervous during your physical and your BP elevated because of nerves, but you need to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
134/91 refers to your blood pressure, not your blood sugar; and yes, that is a bit on the high side, HOWEVER, it is very common to have elevated blood pressure in the doctor's office, esp!. if you were nervous about the exam; you should have it checked about twice a week for a few weeks and see if it's still elevated; if so, your doctor may order you some meds or a special dietWww@Answer-Health@Com
It's too high!. Young people usually have lower readings, besides the normal BP should be 120/80!. This has nothing to do with sugar intake!. Have your doctor re-check it and see if it continues to be high!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
