My Heart Rate?!
Question:
My Heart Rate?
Alright, just so you know, I'm 16, male, relative good shape.
I went to the local drugstore and took a blood pressure test (they have a machine). It spit these stats at me:
Systolic = 119
Diastolic = 64
Pulse = 54
Is this good? I looked up heart rate on wikipedia, and from what I took from it, I have a really low pulse, and bad blood pressure? These stats are bad, right? The machine said that for an adult, Systolic under 120 and diastolic under 80 are best? But 119/64 is higher than 120/80, so I have high blood pressure?
Also, is my heart rate too low?
Sorry for the length of question, but thanks!
Answers:
Those are perfect. average is... 120/80 for blood pressure and 60bpm for heart rate. you are right on target my friend! youre blood pressure is lower then average... not by much so you are right on target. A high blood pressure would be like 200/160 so to speak, and a low pulse would be like 30.
