[PRE-H20]

hey fellas i need some input from you guys that are smart and stuff......

if a persons blood pressure is 116 over 67

if a persons heart rate is 61 beats per minute (resting)


IS THAT GOOD OR BAD?

[bivenator]

Those numbers look good, maybe a bit hypotensive BP. How does this person feel, good or bad?

[2porscheguy]

Agree with bivenator...a little hypotensive. Does he/she feel at all faint when getting up quickly from a seated or prone position? Resting rate is pretty good though.

That's right about my bp and my resting rate is 7-10 lower........my doc says all is well

[PRE-H20]

feels good, no dizziness at all. (quickly standing from a seated position)

i just did some reading.... numbers are fine..... (mayo clinic)

this person in 45 yrs old.

Why do you ask?

Trivia: Lance Armstrong had a 32-34bpm resting heart rate.

A relative had a-fib arrhythmia (a nuisance), and was prescribed some drugs to stabilize that.
Then his blood pressure severely dropped, and he needed drugs for that.
Then he became severely dehydrated, almost went into terminal kidney failure, and got drugs for that.
The end result from all those expensive drugs being myocardial necrosis.

There is a balance of HR and BP. If your's is good, don't mess with it.

I just took mine after a bike ride, 118/61 70 bpm. I'm happy with that at 65 YO.
