i was wondering about what should blood pressure and pulse rate be for a 20 year old male, i just mine, my blood pressure was 136/87 and my pulse rate was 104, is this good? On the machine it gives 3 levels of blood pressure, normal, normal-high and high the 136/87 is in the normal-high section, what does it mean normal-high, is this good or bad?
Before I answer to you you have to tell me: 1) What's your current weight? 2) Level of stress 3) Level of fitness, and by that I mean, sedentary life or do you practice some sport regularly? 4) Drink alcohol? 5) Smoke cigarettes? Any ways, 104 pulse while resting is definitely bad.
Resting pulse of 104, but depends on lots of stuff... 104 as your baseline, relaxed, would be high, but could reflect lots of stuff. 136/87 is indeed at any age, but especially as young as 20. But where did you find this out. At a doc? Self-testing, and if so, how?
