    Blood Pressure & Pulse Rate Query

    Hi All,

    I was just wondering what the average or "Normal" blood pressure should be and also what should my resting heartbeat be.

    For example i have just taken my blood pressure and its reading 115/72 with a pulse rate of 87. I've not long come to bed and am just sitting here reading some posts. So not doing anything exerting or strenuos.

    Any advice would be great.

    Yep all sounds pretty good to me too.

    I think as a blanket average Bp is considered normal at 120/80 with plenty of room for manouve either side of that. Plus you have to realise that it fluctuates all through the day depending on what we are doing etc.

    Pulse rates are considered normal between 60 - 90/100 bpm - again we can go below these rates and above them depending on our level of activity etc.

    Meg did a great post once illustrating how a mans readings while watching a cricket match rose and fell due to the excitement of the game.

    I also make a point of raising mine to over 130 bpm when I am exercising to give myself a decent workout.

    "Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.
