Customer question:
What should normal blood pressure and heart rate be? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Normal blood pressure and heart rate may vary by individual age, gender, physical condition, and other factors. Below are general guidelines for normal blood pressure and heart rate, but it is always important to remember that individual variation is normal.
Normal blood pressure is usually measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). The standard designation is in two numbers, e.g., 120/80 mm Hg. Systolic pressure (the first number) measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. Usually, normal systolic pressure is less than 120 mm Hg. Diastolic pressure (the second number) measures the pressure in the arteries during rest - between heartbeats. Usually, normal diastolic pressure is less than 80 mm Hg.
An average heart rate is usually between 60 and 100 beats per minute at rest. However, the average heart rate can vary depending on physical activity, stress, heat, dehydration, and other factors.
It is essential to consult with your doctor, who can advise you on your individual blood pressure and heart rate goals based on your health, age, and other risk factors. Talk to your doctor if you have any health problems or doubts about your blood pressure and heart rate.
